Eva
The foundation of Eva's interest in the human body was laid in her childhood, as she grew up with a mother who taught classical ballet. Her training as a surgical nurse has given her a great deal of knowledge of the human body. Eva is a strong, sincere and warm woman. What you see, is what you get! She likes things which are pure and authentic. Fuss is not her style. Her personal traits fit beautifully with the authentic pilates method.

Since 2008, Eva has had the privilege to deepen her knowledge under the guidance of Javier Velazquez in Rotterdam. Eva has worked regularly for Just Pilates since 2005, and now we finally get to say: she's really joining Just Pilates! Eva is a joy to watch when she is training. Her movements are pure and controlled, but are executed with the flow of a dancer. These characteristics are also her qualities as a pilates teacher.

Suzanne
Suzanne has a master's degree in English language and literature from Utrecht University. She has been practicing Pilates since 2005. No other sport had really grabbed her attention before, but Pilates managed to do so and has kept on challenging her. The intelligence behind this form of movement fascinates her and this is also her strength as an instructor. She has a talent for technique in this method.

In the near future, she too will be able to say that she is a certified instructor in the Classical Pilates method. Beside to her role as instructor she is also the studio's girl Friday.
Suzanne is a very loyal and bright young woman. She is calm and cautious, which gives her the time to think things over well before she acts. This makes her a reliable and pleasant person to work with. She will always take her time with you.
In every way, Suzanne has added value for Just Pilates.

Amber
Amber is independent, enterprising and with her vibrant energy she is always in motion. She has a shop in Alphen a / d Rijn. No, no pilates studio, but something to do with baking, and clay and pots. However, her greatest wish is to open a pilates studio in Alphen a / d Rijn. This will probably be in the near future.
read more...She is smart, fast and loves to move. The choice for Pilates is not surprising, as it suits her to a T.! And it will not come as surprise that the properties we have just mentioned are also reflected in her Pilates classes.
received her training in Ground Control by Debbie Jenner, but still she had the feeling that something was missing. She then opted for the authentic Pilates method of Romana's Pilates. She was trained by Marjorie Oron in The Hague and successfully completed her training.
Amber is an asset to Just Pilates and we hope that her energy will continue to sparkle in our studio for a long time to come!

Irena
Beauty and tenderness are a few things which come to mind about Irena, but she's also a fighter and a go-getter. Well, that shows in her style of teaching. Her sessions have a certain softness, but all the same, she knows exactly how to use flow and dynamics to give you a vigorous work-out.
read more...She was born in Sarajevo in former Yugoslavia and after the war, she finished the High School for Classical Ballet. She came to The Netherlands for the specialization in Modern Dance at the Dance Academy Rotterdam. Among others, she danced for Dance Works and recently she danced for Jonah Bokaer in New York.
Irena has been trained by Javier Valezquez in the authentic Romana Pilates method. When she is teaching pilates, she is completely wrapped up in the session. She forgets everything around her and focuses solely on her client. She has a great deal of knowledge and technique of both dance and pilates.
Irena is an instructor you'll gladly have a session with. Her honest and open character contribute to the pleasant atmosphere in our studio.
