​​Jane is a movement enthusiast and danced professionally in Vancouver for over a decade. As a former dance artist and a hypermobile human, Jane has a fair bit of first-hand experience with injury, pain and dysfunction in the body. Pilates has been a practice that she comes back to time and again, to help repattern, integrate, and heal.

Jane has been practicing Pilates on and off for over 25 years and she’s still not bored. She holds 2 comprehensive teaching certifications, one through PhysicalMind (Contemporary) and the second through Pilates from the Center (Classical). She holds a BFA in dance from SFU and is a certified level 1 Hypopressives teacher. She has completed additional workshops and courses in pre/post-natal Pilates, Pilates for rehabilitation, Yamuna ball rolling, Franklin Method, and myofascial slings through Anatomy Trains in Motion.  

As a teacher, she offers the culmination of a life in dance, having spent 35 years immersed in thinking, talking and embodying movement through that lens. She has spent thousands of hours studying and practicing Pilates, and her continued learning includes building a deeper understanding of fascia, biomechanics, and the nervous system. The teachers and practitioners whose support has been the most meaningful to Jane, have been humble, endlessly curious and authentically themselves. She strives to stay as present, open and honest as they are. 

Jane is the owner of Tiny Goat Pilates & Movement, a name she chose because it aligns with her teaching philosophy: that just like tiny goats, we were born to express ourselves through joyful movement. She believes in curiosity and that hard work can feel delicious, and playful. Jane knows firsthand that a willingness to be awkward, unsure and to fail, is all part of learning. These attributes make us exquisitely human and capable of so much more than we often give ourselves credit for. 

These days Jane is stoked on gardening, biking, hanging with her furry roommates, learning vertical dance, and generally taking in beauty outside and inside. 

Revelstoke locals can find Jane teaching Mat Pilates at Achemy Studio at 1300 Douglas Street on Friday mornings at 9:30am and Reformer at Ludica Movement Therapy at 113 Second Street East, please feel free to check their schedule for class times and more details.
