As a youth, Hanni was a gymnast, swimmer and diver.  In her early adulthood she taught Aerobics and acted in musical theatre which often involved dance choreography and acrobatics.  Entering the corporate world and ultimately starting a family, she made little time to pursue such movement oriented activities.  As a result, health took a backseat and a sedentary lifestyle took precedence.

Then, in 1998 Hanni  started Pilates when a friend needed a practice client for her apprenticeship program at P.S.I.  She was very eager to try out a system that promised a whole new body after 30 sessions.  She worked out thrice weekly and was amazed at the transformation.  She was thrilled to have found a program that embodied everything that she felt was important in exercise, and that actually kept her attention all through out. 

Ever since, she has become almost evangelical about Pilates.  Her hiking, swimming, triathlon training (and even Parallel parking—ask about that one!) have all benefited from it.  Over the years several people have approached her, thanking her for recommending such a program.
 
Happy that she has influenced these people to do something that produced such positive results, she decided to become certified to be directly involved with people’s transformational results.
 
You will instantly become aware of her enthusiasm and commitment to the Pilates practice as soon as you sign up for a session with her.  In her teaching, she draws from her many interests and life experiences around the world, in her former career in international marketing, as well as being a mom and school volunteer.  Hanni uses a lot of visuals and descriptive language to help you understand your goals in executing each move.   She has an uninhibited style of using her voice to get you to into the rhythm of an exercise as well.  You will progress in your Pilates practice, knowing that you have a teacher that respects the work so immensely that she is constantly in movement workshops, honing her craft and will continue to do so for many years to come.
