“As an educator and professional development specialist, I understand the art and craft at skilled teaching when I see it. Not only is Jeanni an accomplished Pilates practitioner, she is a master teacher with a gift for making her teaching process visible to her apprentice teachers. When it came to choosing a Pilates teacher training program, I wanted a program that not only focused on proper Pilates technique, but that also coached its participants on best pedagogical practices. I found it with Jeanni and Pearl Pilates.” - Ellie Gilbert
