Why I love teaching
Joseph Pilates used to say “Don’t settle for good, strive for greatness.” Pilates always was one of my personal happy hours when I was a student. After each session I felt physically stronger, aligned, energized and stretched with a calm and focused mind. It’s my passion and a privilege to share my enthusiasm with my clients and pass on this outstanding training method. In my sessions I strongly focus on body awareness, anatomically correct movement, breathing and the coordinated use of the body. To see clients leave the studio with a good feeling and a smile on there face fills my heart with gratitude.
More
I was born in Zurich. From earliest childhood I have been a passionate swimmer. Gymnastics and horseback riding also played an important part while growing up.
I discovered Pilates in 2006 and three years later began the System Education Program in Zurich with Power Pilates New York, one of the most renowned institutions for Pilates training in the USA.
The Pilates method’s strong focus on the connection of the body and mind as well as the love of working with people inspired me to take on a career change to the health sector in 2010. I have been teaching classical Pilates ever since. I am qualified to teach all levels of Pilates on all available equipment. In addition, I successfully passed the Pilates Method Alliance Third Party Professional Certification Exam in 2013.
Aside from committing to Pilates, I studied psychology at the University of Zurich from 2011 until 2013 and successfully passed the assessment phase of the bachelor studies.
To complement my work, I took part in a Yoga Alliance registered 200-hour Teacher Training in Anusara® Yoga with Jeff and Ezgi Fisher in 2013. In 2016, I started the education in Spiraldynamik®. After the completion of the Basic Level I attended the Intermediate “Physiopädagogik” course as well as the Intermediate Specific Yoga and Med for Move courses. I certified at Spiraldynamik® Level Intermediate in June 2018.
