Customer reviews

Patricia Perrier

I have always had a passion for sports and dance. In 2004, I earned my degree as a sports instructor in Paris and gained experience as a fitness instructor and personal trainer.

In 2008, I obtained my diploma as a teacher and professional dancer in Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances, also in Paris. That same year, I discovered Pilates. Although I had already gained solid experience and skills in body movement and health, Pilates brought a whole new dimension to my practice.

In 2010, I trained at the Set Pilates school in Paris and became certified in Mat Pilates, Reformer, and Cadillac. Since Pilates is inspired by yoga, my interest in this discipline grew. I then traveled to Nepal to obtain my yoga teacher certification from the Yogi-Nomad school. Yoga postures are closely linked to movements and approaches from Thai massage, which led me to Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, where I completed all five levels of certification as a massage therapist.

My last stop was Quebec, specifically Montreal, which I immediately fell in love with! There, I met Ann McMillan, a renowned Pilates trainer in Quebec and the United States. Inspired by her teachings, I decided to complete all her training courses. Later, I refined my Hatha Yoga practice and deepened my knowledge of anatomy under the guidance of my mentor Hervé Blondon, founder of the Satyam School. I know I will continue learning throughout my life. As Gandhi said: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Currently, I am pursuing yoga and meditation training with François Lacerte.

In Quebec, I had the opportunity to open my own Pilates and yoga studio, where I offer activities related to my passions: movement, dance, wellness, balance, and health. My goal is to continue sharing these passions with those who are inspired by them, while continuing my own learning journey alongside them.

Roberta Arguello

Active within the artistic community, her areas of expertise include drama, dance, singing, and choreography. She possesses various tools to offer you an experience tailored to your needs.
Roberta offers an approach that respects each individual’s limits. In her classes, she will guide you towards a more intuitive awareness of your body and invite you to explore the postures in a safe environment. Dare to be guided by the present moment, and you will witness both physical and energetic changes unfold.

Tika Bowrin

Tika grew up in Ottawa and became a movement enthusiast at a very young age. She started her yoga practice at the age of 16. Since then, movement and the practice of breathing have been constant elements in her life.
In 2003, Tika completed training to become a Hatha yoga instructor. She specializes in craniosacral therapy and also works on myofascial release.
In 2010, she trained with Polestar Pilates to gain a better understanding of the human body and its connection to the mind. Following this training, Tika began teaching group classes in mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates. She also works with private clients, often dealing with various physical conditions.
Tika loves sharing her knowledge with her clients, enabling them to breathe well and move intelligently so they can connect with their bodies.
Outside the studio, Tika enjoys being in nature, being creative, singing, and dancing. She loves Indian food and playing with children and cats.

Roxanne Joubert

Trainer and instructor in Pilates, PMA (Pilates Method Alliance) certified, and certified instructor in therapeutic Pilates on equipment.
Roxane Joubert has a passion for dance and an aptitude for the sciences. She completed her secondary education in the dance program at École Pierre Laporte.
In 2002, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the Université de Montréal and joined the team at Ann McMillan Pilates.
Promoted to the title of Head Instructor in 2006, she supervises the work of the instructors at AMP. Highly versatile, she works with a wide variety of clients, ranging from deconditioned seniors to elite athletes. She has participated in training the synchronized swimming team and skier Jennifer Heil.
Heavily involved in instructor training, she has been leading mat Pilates, equipment Pilates, and continuing education workshops since 2005.
She successfully completed GYROTONIC® instructor training in 2007 and training in “Rehabilitation in the Context of Chronic Pain” at the Kinesiology Institute of Quebec in 2012. Since the closure of the AMP center in 2013, she has been working with clients and groups in various contexts.

Priscilla Regli

In 2013, I obtained my certification as a fitness coach (Can Fit Pro), followed by my certification in mat Pilates.
I truly discovered my passion when I started taking Reformer Pilates classes. It was only natural that I decided to pursue Stott training for Reformer Pilates.
Today, I have been teaching this method for nearly 4 years. It is a discipline I recommend for a strong and balanced body at any age.

Vaiana Rouablé

Passionate about dance, Vaiana began a dance-study program at a college in France. However, three years later, her journey had to be interrupted due to scoliosis. She then fully dedicated herself to her studies and obtained a master’s degree in tourism management. Subsequently, she worked in the hospitality industry in California, French Polynesia, and then in Paris.

In 2013, she decided to settle in Montreal, where, two years after her arrival, she discovered the Essentrics technique. She instantly fell in love with this therapeutic discipline created by Miranda Esmonde-White, a former ballerina with the Toronto Ballet who evolved into a sports coach. Essentrics helps to rebalance the entire body through dynamic stretching. The fluid movements contribute to lengthening and strengthening the muscles. This method plays an essential role in relieving pain, improving posture, and releasing joints.

Vaiana began an online training program to become an Essentrics instructor and obtained her Level 3 certification in 2020. After returning to her studies in 2021, she now works in the translation sector. She appreciates the balance that the practice of Essentrics brings her alongside her career as a translator.

Sabrina Brouri

A national-level figure skating career spanning over 16 years. Trained as a figure skating coach, as well as in Essentrics, Pilates, and deep stretching. Currently studying medicine.

Samya Nessim Chrigui

Samya has always loved studying and analyzing movement. Passionate about dance, she completed professional training in dance at a young age. Later, she discovered yoga, which she has been practicing for over ten years. Her growing interest in this practice led her to study yoga at the Wanderlust studio (now Mile-End studio).

After an injury, she discovered Pilates and its benefits. Eager to deepen her knowledge, she pursued teacher training in Pilates at AMP. She loves sharing her passion for Pilates and movement through her teaching.

Poliana Tancler

My name is Poliana, I am Brazilian, passionate about self-discovery and self-care. I carry in my blood the energy of a tropical country filled with dance, music, smiles, and good vibes.

I have been practicing yoga for over 14 years, having completed training both in my country and in the United States. In Brazil, I have owned my own yoga and massage studio for over 8 years, and I am trained in Reiki as well as Radionics Therapy.

I build my path with each step, with each experience, and I truly see life as a gift.

Virginie Manus

Virginie put on her first pink ballet shoes at the age of three at the studios of the Salle Pleyel in Paris. She started with classical ballet (Stanlova, Tessa Beaumont’s classes) before turning to modern jazz at the Jazz Dance Academy.

In her twenties, she assisted her godfather (a choreographer and dancer) by teaching jazz classes to teenagers and choreographing pieces for various shows.

She moved to Quebec at 27 to work with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal. Her role was to collaborate on the development of activities at the National Center for Dance Therapy.

Later, Virginie returned to her studies in bioethics at the School of Public Health at the University of Montreal. During her studies, she became a student again at various dance studios, including Studio Équilibre. Virginie discovered Patricia’s barre fitness classes, and it was love at first sight! She found the perfect opportunity to combine ballet training techniques and floor barre with muscle strengthening and work on coordination, mobility, flexibility… with a touch of grace! She then decided to teach this discipline. Attentive to her students, she emphasizes posture and movement precision, all while maintaining a cheerful atmosphere.

 

Morgan Folkerson

Morgan Folkerson focuses on the art of pilates. Her classes will help one develop a greater appreciation for one’s body and improve overall strength. She places a strong emphasis on challenging oneself, while maintaining awareness of personal limitations.

She is an avid believer of the fact that mental wellness and physical wellness go hand in hand and focuses on creating a safe and welcoming space for all to explore their practice.

She aims to help improve your core alignment and develop a stronger mind-body connection in a fun and safe atmosphere for all.

Norma Valle

Trained as a computer engineer, Norma dedicated many years to solving complex problems and developing innovative solutions for various companies in Canada.

Passionate about precision, logic, and movement, she discovered Pilates Reformer following a skiing accident. She found in this discipline the perfect balance between technique and well-being.

Having previously completed personal trainer certification, training in Pilates Reformer became a natural next step. She now teaches Pilates Reformer by combining her engineering precision and personal trainer expertise with a personalized approach to movement.

Today, she helps her students strengthen their bodies, improve their posture, and cultivate their well-being through sessions tailored to all levels — sometimes in English, French, or even Spanish. Norma’s classes are fun, playful, and demanding. She is currently pursuing further training to become a Pilates mat instructor with Anne McMillan.

Salomé Marques

I have been practicing yoga for about eight years. I first discovered this discipline in Paris, in a tiny, overheated studio where the mats were tightly packed together. At the time, I didn’t yet know the full philosophy of yoga and practiced simply for the well-being it brought me.

When I arrived here in 2018, my practice deepened, and I began training to learn more about the world of yoga. Today, it is fully part of my daily life. I trained in Vinyasa Yoga in 2021 to deepen my knowledge, then in Yin and Nidra in 2023 to bring a gentler approach to my teaching. My classes combine movement fluidity, body and breath awareness, in creative flows that balance Yin and Yang.

Outside of yoga, I am trained in creating natural cosmetic products, and I am a certified aromatherapist. I offer workshops on product creation and advice on essential oils, which I sometimes like to include in my yoga classes.
