Jessi Herr

Jessi discovered Pilates in 1999 in Seattle, Washington.  Having participated in yoga, sports and dance, nothing had ever given her the satisfaction and the empowerment that Pilates does. Pilates was especially important to Jessi after the birth of her first child. Surprised and humbled by her postpartum weaknesses, Jessi had to learn to recruit deep support muscles. Strengthening the upper back and deep abdominal muscles hastened her recovery and reduced her aches and pains.

In 2003 Jessi completed a 9-month Pilates Teacher Certification program at Mind & Body Studio, in Seattle. Jessi began teaching mat classes and privates, specializing in--but not limited to--Pre & Postnatal training.

Jessi works with pre & post natal women, elderly clients, athletes, dancers, specific injuries, and the general public. Jessi is certified in the Mat work, as well as on the apparatus such as the Universal Reformer, Wunda Chair, Trapeze Table, Step Ladder Barrel, and Magic Circle.

Jessi is available for private, semi-private, and group instruction. She is a member of the Pilates Method Alliance (www.pilatesmethodalliance.org) whose mission is to establish and maintain education standards for Pilates Professionals.
