Diana Dayapriya Durbin- "I was very impressed with the enchanting Lotus Pilates Studio. The classes taught by Sylvia Durga Nofsinger, an obviously competent, dedicated, and devoted instructor, were not only fun but so efficient. She revealed to me intricate detail of each movement and instructed me on how to utilize my breath for the maximum effect. She also gave me exercises I can do at home to advance my progress. Not only does she seem to have mastered this art, she is humble, demonstrating a positive and bubbly personality. I noticed a difference in my body's alignment after the first class! I am so excited with my new body that I am telling all my friends and am planning on taking advantage of her class at every opportunity that I can!"

Margaret Padma Tumelty- "Sylvia's yoga and pilates studio has state of the art equipment. Sylvia is patient and explains how to use the equipment safely and effectively to gain the maximum benefit. She is a kind and caring practitioner who is skilled in Thai Yoga, pilates and is an advanced yoga teacher. Sylvia has a great knowledge of anatomy. She explains which muscles are engaged during exercise. I feel wonderful after each session with her, experiencing increased energy levels and getting stronger in my core. I am a yoga teacher but am new to pilates. Sylvia made me feel comfortable and capable throughout the session. I highly recommend Lotus Pilates & Thai Yoga Studio!"

Elisabeth Brennan-"I started working with Sylvia about 5 months ago and after first session I knew and felt it was life changing. I have experienced such a decrease in pain, am more flexible, can feel my body is becoming re-centered and stronger. Sylvia has been blessed with a gift. She can look at you, touch you and feel and access what state you are in and what your body needs to heal, grow and improve. She has so much knowledge of the body, its connection, health, the mind. She has powerful energy and healing that you can feel in her hands. She is very spiritual and connecting, patient, positive, encouraging, helpful. You can feel and see that she wants to do all she can do to help you heal and improve in different ways.

Jeanine Jones- "I found Sylvia in November 2013 after trying numerous trainers and exercise to help with pain, balance issues, bad posture and numbness due to multiple sclerosis. Sylvia introduced me to MELT during my first session. I actually cried at the end of the session. These were tears of pure joy. I was experiencing feeling in my previous numb body and the pain was subsiding. I finally had found the one that understood my needs. Her knowledge of anatomy is impeccable. Sylvia can tell from the way I walk into the studio what the session will need for my body to be pain free, flexible and balanced both physically and mentally. Sylvia is an excellent instructor always looking for the best way to help her client. I have also experienced pilates apparatus, Thai Yoga and crystal healing with Sylvia over the past 2 years. I am blessed to have found her."
