She has completed all comprehensive training courses for Mat, Reformer, and Apparatus through the prestigious Balanced Body program. Jessica loves teaching Pilates because it aligns with the ideals of her previous career as a licensed clinical social worker. She particularly enjoys working with beginners and watching their progress as they become more confident and comfortable in their bodies. “I love working with a new client, getting to know them and assessing the areas they need to develop. That involves finding out whether they have any injuries or illnesses, observing posture and alignment, and getting a sense of their strength and flexibility. From there I make a plan as to how to help clients to develop those areas. It is infinitely rewarding watching client progress and gain confidence.” The small group classes at M Pilates allows for each client to get the individualized attention they deserve. Jessica also works with students privately and in duets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8df4ee91a56e58ee985563/1737727453382-D7KN6FH0CH0AA6Q6VW61/JanePilatesPic.jpg Instructors - JANE HELCK Pilates Instructor Ever since childhood, Jane has loved to move! She has been able to turn her hobby of dance into a lifestyle and a fulfilling career to share with others.

At Hofstra, Jane was able to study and work alongside Lance Westergard, Robin Becker, Karla Wolfangle, Giada Ferrone and Amy Marshall. Ms. Helck graduated in May of 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Dance Education. Upon her graduation, she has performed works by Claire Porter and the contemporary modern dance company Freespace Dance. While continuing her dancing, Jane was introduced to Pilates and took a job as an instructor at Khore Studio. She was professionally trained in the Lottie Berk Method to teach barre and her attention to alignment, providing modifications and mindfulness of client’s needs was noticed by the studio owner who sent Jane to study Balanced Body Pilates with Marcy Shafler. As of November 2020, Jane has become certified in Holistic Health Nutrition and also obtained certification as a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach. Jane has applied her knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, Pilates and dance to successfully run two dance programs, create her own LLC and teach to students young and old.

While working in the business world, Anita felt a sense of feeling as though something were missing. So she changed careers and studied Occupational Therapy at the University of Southern California. While she worked with patients with neurological and orthopedic impairments, she felt the strong sense of working in wellness and prevention. This led her to train with Polestar Pilates to become a pilates instructor and an ergonomics specialist through the Back School. Anita's teaching style has a strong emphasis on athletic and functional movement. Her goal with her clients is to keep them strong and as functional independent, as possible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8df4ee91a56e58ee985563/1790295838995-EYMLJ2DFBZ7PCA7LCYBA/Danielle+Headshot--6.jpg Instructors - Anakaren Lopez Pilates Instructor Anakaren received her Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2018 from NYU.
