Vanessa Kirschner, Honours BA in English from York University
My formal educating is an Honours BA in English from York University. However, I began taking Pilates classes in 2001 and never looked back! I loved it so much, I decided I wanted to teach it. By 2003, I was fully certified in the Stott method of teaching and have taught Pilates full-time ever since. Since the start of my Pilates career, I have continually upgraded my skills, most recently with Body Harmonics Pilates. I spent time travelling to many different cities, including Boulder, Colorado and San Francisco, California to hone my skill through several pilates workshops and classes. I also spent 4 months in Vancouver studying the Marie Jose method of Pilates. Marie Jose is an actual disciple of Joseph Pilates himself. As well as teaching Pilates at The Urban Athlete, I teach at 2 hospitals in the city. My students are staff members of the hospitals including many physio and occupational therapists. In my spare time I love to go roller-skating and dancing. And not too long ago, I discovered Zumba classes in which I hope to be certified to teach very soon!
