Diana Paolone Perth, Australia

PSM Instructor Trainer/PSM Australia Ambassador

I was a personal trainer and sports masseuse prior to attending my first Pilates class (many moons ago) along with being amongst the hype of Suspension Training at that time.   As I entered into my Pilates journey I found The Pilates Suspension Method (PSM).  ‘How could this be! My obsession for pilates and love for suspension transformed into one!’  Throughout my Pilates studies I was fortunate to travel overseas to meet and complete the courses with Rebecca Beckler, the creator herself. I went away inspired more than ever and ready to share this method with my clients.  After years of mastering PSM and working closely with Rebecca (thank you technology – how lucky are we today!) I can now share PSM with other movement lovers in the Pilates, Yoga, Fitness Industry.  Being surrounded by inspiring instructors and clients that share the same love of Pilates and PSM is what ignites my Pilates Obsession and I hope that one day I get to meet you and guide you to yours.

Jasmine Hanus, Herve, Belgium

PSM Advanced Instructor Trainer/PSM Belgium Ambassador

French & English Speaking

After a master’s degree in motor sciences (University of Liège, Belgium), I created a fitness center with my husband 27 years ago. I gave a lot of different classes there, working with the fitness industry.

Fifteen years later, tired body and worn out joints, I turned to the practice of Pilates and fell “in love” with discipline. I trained in the Stott Pilates method to become an instructor (Mat, reformer, cadillac, chair, then Zenga, Total Barre…) and opened (twelve years ago)my fully equipped Pilates Studio .

I’ve been following Rebecca and her PSM on Instagram ever since, and the lockdown has allowed me to follow her training and become an instructor. The PSM is for me the continuity of the work on equipment and allows me to evolve still in my practice of teacher

Caitlin Towle, Canton, Massachusetts

 

I was granted the gift of movement at a very young age, as I have been a dancer since age 5 and an equestrian since age 7. My mother loved Pilates, so when I was 19 she brought me to Shelia Donovan Pilates studio in Canton, Massachusetts and I haven’t really left since. After I tried the Pilates Suspension Method, I was entirely hooked. Practicing mat Pilates and Pilates Suspension Method has dramatically improved my skills as a dancer and dance teacher, as a dressage rider, and as a weight lifter. I take it as a great honor to be able to teach Pilates Suspension Method and share this exceptional workout with others.
