Her clear and calm teaching style and gentle encouragement sees her clients achieve movement they thought had been lost for good.

Celine Quentrec

Celine first turned to Pilates 8 years ago to solve her ongoing lower back pain. She was amazed by the results and how much stronger, flexible and freer Pilates made her feel.
Passionate about the discipline, Celine decided to become a teacher to share all the benefits of Pilates with her future clients. She loves seeing the positive change a regular and mindful practice brings to people’s daily life.
Coming from the corporate world, Celine is fully aware of the effects a desk job has on your body. She can’t wait to start showing you how Pilates can truly help by acquiring better body awareness, posture, strength and above all spine mobility.
Celine is also an avid Latin dancer, especially Bachata. Always happy to share her passion, you can ask her questions or request some good Latin music for your session. If you are a dancer yourself, she will have the perfect exercises to condition your body so get your dancing skills up.
As Joseph Pilates used to say “If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.”
