Before venturing into the realm of Pilates instruction, Jamie Simes, with a background in Astanga yoga and surf teaching, cultivated a lifelong affinity for movement. The motivation behind this pursuit was a profound desire to engage fully in life without enduring pain.
In 2019, a serious illness inflicted substantial trauma on Jamie’s nervous system, prompting a comprehensive relearning of movement. Through the personal journey of Pilates rehabilitation, a newfound love for the discipline blossomed. Jamie recognizes, from personal experience, that the small victories within the rehabilitation process significantly contribute to an enhanced quality of life.
Jamie finds joy in orchestrating lively and inclusive movement classes or sessions suitable for individuals of varying skill levels and body types. Personally enamored with Pilates, Jamie values its transformative impact in imparting the knowledge of moving the body safely in ways previously deemed impossible.
