"Throughout my life, I've struggled with scoliosis, living in a constant state of discomfort. There were days when the pain in my back was so severe that getting out of bed felt impossible. This physical pain led to crippling anxiety and depression. I turned to yoga, which helped with flexibility, but I soon realized I was missing the strength-building piece my body desperately needed.

Initially, I was intimidated by the reformer machine. But one day, I decided to give it a try, and that decision changed everything. After just three months of taking three 40-minute classes per week with Dr. Julie Lord, my back pain is completely gone, and my spinal curve is actually straightening out. I'm building core strength that supports my spine, and I feel more energized and amazing than ever.

Dr. Julie's expertise and guidance have been life-changing. I’m grateful beyond words for the impact she’s had on my journey to a pain-free, stronger self."

“When I began my practice with Dr. Lord, she met me where I was. I never felt self-conscious about my flexibility or skill level. Dr. Lord encouraged me every session to try hard. More importantly, she nurtured within me a commitment to my practice and an enthusiasm for Pilates. I never expected that I would transform inside and out—that I would become so strong in my core, and more stable in every respect.

Dr. Lord has led me, gently and at my own pace, to create a practice that I cherish. Now, I prioritize my practice—which I totally didn’t expect! I’m taking it to the next level with a teacher training program.”

“I’ve taken classes with Dr. Lord for years, first when I lived in Atlanta and now remotely from Lake Tahoe. And when I’m visiting, I always go to her Serenbe classes. I love that Dr. Lord is very creative; it makes working out really fun. She usually incorporates a positive thought, quote or meditation with the class. It’s more than just working out your body—she makes the mind-body connection. That little extra piece feels like what everyone in class always needs to hear.

It's been a blessing to take Dr. Lord's online classes with a few of my Tahoe friends. I love getting to see everyone and feel like we’re in the room together. Being socially isolated the past few months has created a profound gratitude for the people who are a bright light in my life. Dr. Lord is one of them. She is such a positive person who gives off this aura of happiness and peace and goodwill. It’s a joy to take her online classes because my body feels good, but then my soul feels good. I always leave feeling better.”
