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.
For over 15 years, Josée followed a diverse path that allowed her to explore various artistic and athletic fields. After the birth of her children, she fell in love with Pilates, which helped her regain the balance she was seeking.
Since then, she has chosen to devote all her energy to this discipline and has begun training to become a STOTT Pilates mat and Reformer instructor, as well as obtaining certification as a Total Barre instructor.
Pilates allows her to combine her passions for teaching and physical well-being, which she shares with her clients in a dynamic, positive, and enthusiastic manner.
My journey began unexpectedly during my very first class in 2007, where I didn’t quite understand what I was doing there; I didn’t understand the language or the conventions of a yoga class. But amidst this uncertainty, something small ignited within me — a spark, a feeling of well-being that I had never felt before. This experience brought me back to the mat again and again, awakening a passion within me that has never left.
I began my training in 2020 and have had the privilege of teaching since. As a certified RYT500, I have studied with world-renowned teachers such as Michelle Young and Ana Pilar. My commitment to yoga is reinforced by continuous education, including diplomas in advanced anatomy and physiology, and foundations of meditation. I am currently pursuing training in pranayama to further deepen my skills.
Ayurveda also plays a central role in my practice and teaching, offering a holistic approach that nourishes both body and mind. Yoga has been a true lifeline for me, an essential anchor that has preserved my mental health in times when I needed it most.
In my classes, breath becomes an anchor, movement a language, and presence a key to discovering inner peace. I deeply believe that yoga has the power to transform our lives, reconnect us to our essence, and remind us that peace and joy are within reach, here and now.
I have been a dance teacher for over 20 years (in France and Quebec), trained in floor barre (modern and classical), which I have been teaching for about 15 years.
I am also a certified MUNZ FLOOR® coach through MAISON MUNZ since 2021, an innovative method well-known in Europe and now gaining popularity in Quebec. The class takes place on the floor and consists of slow, spiralized micro-movements that activate the cross chains and work like a “massage” on the fascia. These movements relieve muscle, nerve, and joint tension, and most participants feel a sense of well-being after the very first session.
Having practiced Pilates regularly for over 15 years, Josiane decided to train in order to share her passion for this discipline. Passionate about movement and well-being, she believes that a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle is within everyone’s reach. Her classes are accessible, dynamic, and compassionate, focusing on strength, mobility, coordination, and body awareness.
She holds certifications in Mat and Reformer from the Ann McMillan Pilates method. She is also certified as a fitness instructor by YMCA Canada. In addition, she works as a freelance consultant in the management of artistic, cultural, and social projects.
I am Isabelle, an Acadian from New Brunswick who moved to Montreal 10 years ago to pursue a master’s degree in social work. My work aims to influence policies to improve the quality of life and well-being of marginalized people, guided by the principles of harm reduction, meeting people where they are, and centering their lived experience.
I discovered Reformer Pilates at Studio Équilibre in 2016, and I have remained dedicated to both the practice and the studio ever since. The focus on the mind-body connection has helped me stay balanced and focused. For me, Pilates is a true therapy for both body and mind, and I find the method incredibly restorative. In the spring of 2024, I completed the Reformer training with Ann McMillan to deepen my practice and dive into the wonderful world of teaching.
The path that led me to become an instructor was unexpected, but I can easily draw parallels between my approach in social work and in teaching. I strongly believe in Pilates’ ability to improve the quality of life by meeting people where they are. My goal is to provide a safe and inclusive space where everyone can find joy in movement and leave the class feeling strong and revitalized. I look forward to seeing you on the Reformer!
