For nearly two decades Jeanette Henry Brown has been in awe of the profound impact the Pilates method has had on her life and for those of the people she works with. Jeanette began Pilates at Riverside Community College in 2005. Upon experiencing significant improvements in alignment, strength and well-being attributed to Pilates, she made it her mission to teach true and effective Pilates. Completing Pilates Certification at Long Beach Dance Conditioning in 2007 gave her the tools she needed to train folks who need modifications of the original exercises due to surgery or limited mobility. Driven by her client’s needs, she has obtained certification to teach pre- and post-natal mothers, work with clients with neurological disorders, and members of the aging population. She has completed courses in: Therapeutic stretching in Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Workshops in Myofascial Release techniques Pilates adaptations from the Postural Restoration Institute Trained with several prominent Classical Pilates teachers who were trained by Joseph Pilates protégé, Romana Kryzanowska. In 2019 she became Certified by her Classical Pilates teacher, Siri Galliano, of Live Art Pilates. During the pandemic she co-developed a Pilates for Equestrians program with PT and Equestrian Stephanie Seheult and has worked with many riders in person and virtually to improve their form and their riding. In 2021 she established Positively Pilates, her studio she shares with her Yoga mentor and Mother-in-law Amy Brown of Divine Yoga. She is working towards her Iyengar Yoga Certification and assists in yoga classes at the studio weekly. In her studio she is thrilled to be able to offer nearly every apparatus in the Pilates system to her clients. Curious about how to better help her clients with Scoliosis, Jeanette became an authorized Scolio-Pilates® Practitioner in 2025. As a new mother, Jeanette can appreciate the great changes our bodies go through and respects the natural ability of the body to adapt and heal with time and correct technique. When she is not at the studio instructing Pilates, she is inspired by nature through gardening, hiking, paddling, and volunteering at nature preserves. An herbalist since 2010, Jeanette loves to share her enthusiasm for plants through guiding plant identification walks and teaching basic traditional herbal medicine techniques for people to practice at home. She is passionate about bringing people in touch with their innate physical abilities and experiencing their senses fully in exercise and through being in nature. Inspired by her friends, family and clients, it is through her passions she aims to improve the lives of others. Authorized Scolio-Pilates® Practitioner since 2025.
