JACQUELINE LOUNSBURY
Pilates Instructor
Jacqueline was first introduced
to Pilates in 1993 by her aunt who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis; the holistic approach and practice of the Pilates repertoire eased some of the symptoms she was experiencing. As a young dancer who trained extensively in ballet, Contemporary, and release technique she noticed many similarities in the pedagogy and principles of Pilates and dance.
Her dance career eventually beckoned her west where she began to study Contact Improvisation, somatic education, the expressive arts and movement therapy. Her performing profession was put on pause in 2007 when she was in a bike accident leaving her immobile. With no health insurance, she had to rely on her own resources, will and body intelligence to recover.
Being a professional dancer, aching to perform again, Jacqueline remembered the movement progression her aunt had experienced and found herself turning to Pilates for her own healing and rehabilitation. She sought out Ellie Herman in San Francisco where she began a journey towards a new calling.
Jacqueline received her Pilates certification from Body Arts and Science International, (BASI) in 2008. She began performing again, and in 2009 she was invited by Marina Abramovic to perform in her seminal work, The Artist is Present at the MoMA in NYC. This year, she will begin pursing her Masters of Arts in Dance Movement Therapy and Mental Health Counseling.
With a focus on movement analysis, and developmental movement patterns her style of teaching grew with a deeper sense of the soma-psyche intelligence, including sensitivity around trauma-informed movement re-patterning that remain client focused.
