ABOUT THE OWNER




Jenna has been inspiring pupils for over a decade. Trained in ballet and classical dance, she has used the principles of Pilates in both her professional performance and teaching methods throughout her career. After retiring from the world of performance dance, Jenna brought her knowledge of anatomy and love of movement to New York, where she taught the Lotte Berk Method to students in the city as well as the Hamptons. Shortly thereafter, Jenna became a Stott certified Pilates instructor, developing a clientele throughout Manhattan. She became aware of the profound effects that a regiment of Pilates enriched with the principles of Yoga was having on her students. Out of that awareness, her dream became a reality. Starting a home studio in Point Lookout in 2001, the success of Jenna’s technique quickly created demand and prompted the move to her beautiful Long Beach studio. South Shore Pilates has become the embodiment of Jenna’s passion for proper body alignment, as well as her love of Yoga and healthy living. The result is a fun, versatile and inspiring journey towards total body fitness.

Jenna currently lives in Point Lookout. She attended the ECA fitness conference in 2006 where was introduced to the connection between fitness and nutrition. She is currently working on combining instruction in nutrition and healthy eating with her fitness expertise. Jenna attended the ECA again in 2008. She has been an annual presenter at the New York Institute of Technology’s health fair since 2006. Jenna also attended the Mt Sinai School of Medicine’s functional anatomy workshop for movement professionals in 2007.
