About The Owner , Janine Castellano

I found Pilates at a local gym in my 20s and I was immediately hooked. I took mat classes and I couldn’t get enough. It was challenging and gave me a feeling of space in my body. I would take mat classes for years before I found the apparatus and the first time I got on I knew I had to commit myself to learning and sharing this work. Beyond the strength I gained in my body, I also learned to trust it , to listen to it , to feel it and pay attention to it. This built a mental confidence I didn’t know could come from exercise. I believe that this method is for everybody and can build a better functioning body as well as a better functioning life.

I am a graduate of Roxbury High School , have a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in Communication Studies from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison NJ. I was a member of the communication honors society Lamda PI Eta as well as Phi Theta Kappa honors society. Education is important to me and Pilates education is no different. I hold a comprehensive certification in Classical Pilates and continued on to complete Kathryn Ross-Nash’s PPATT program to deepen that knowledge. I regularly attend continuing ed and seek out every learning experience possible.
