The Founder
Hi, I’m Jana — a Pilates teacher, nutritionist and dancer. My two homes are Paris and Prague, and now New York (two years strong)!
To survive being glued to a chair and stuck in my head while studying at the Sorbonne in Paris, I found ways to stay awake in my body. Pilates practice, healthy eating and dance classes helped me to cope with stress, chronic knee pain and major emotional shifts.
Dance and movement helped me reconnect with my body, my emotions, sensation and even other people. Academia felt isolating, immobile. So I had to dig deeper into body-based work.
After a year at Parisian dance school Choreia, I moved to New York City and got a certification in Fitness Nutrition. In 2017, I completed a program at Broadway Dance Center in New York. The next year I got my Pilates Mat certification from the legendary Linda Farrell.
Currently, I’m learning even more in the Dance/Movement Therapy through the American Dance Therapy Association and the Pilates comprehensive program with BASI Pilates.
Every day I’m astonished and overjoyed by how much more I can learn about my body. Now, I invite you to explore your own.
