Since delving into Pilates and completing teacher training, Vannesa has had the pleasure of attending advanced training workshops with Authentic Pilates Masters including Kathi Ross-Nash, Mari Winsor, Jay Grimes, Siri Galliano, along with additional instruction from Moses Urbano, Chris Robinson, Greg Norris.
