about

Jo-anne is certified through the PhysicalMind Institute®. She works closely with Lesley Powell and Doris Pasteleur Hall, two of New York’s best teachers who train with a contemporary approach in the pilates method. Jo-anne is interested in integrating the pilates work with principles of yoga and her own dance experience to bring about a practice that lengthens the muscles and builds strength for better alignment and function.

Jo-anne dances with the highly athletic Brian Brooks Moving Company, with Laura Peterson/choreography, as well as choreographing her own work.

With her dance background and pilates training, Jo-anne works with a range of high level athletes, from Iron Man Triathlon competitors, to muay thai fighers to professional dancers. She also works with clients who have a range of physical issues including scoliosis, herniated discs, back pain, tight muscles and muscular imbalances of all kinds.
