Jeanine Yutani was first introduced to Pilates when her physical therapist used Pilates as part of her rehabilitation after a severe back injury, and Jeanine soon fell in love with the benefits of Pilates training. She began her rehab career working for Pilates-based physical therapy practices in 2005, and has been working with clients with scoliosis for more than 15 years. Jeanine is a Balanced Body Educator for Pilates, Movement Principles, Anatomy in 3-Dimensions and CoreAlign, is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT), an Authorized Scolio-Pilates® Practitioner and Educator, and a Franklin Method Educator. Jeanine uses Pilates and other mindful movement techniques for therapeutic, orthopedic, corrective, and post-rehab exercise, now primarily working with individuals living with scoliosis, hypermobility/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and autoimmune conditions. She incorporates her background in craniosacral therapy and as an osteopathic manual practitioner in her practice, and is constantly pursuing additional training to better serve her clients. As a former competitive athlete, Jeanine has nearly 40 years experience teaching movement, from swimming to dance to martial arts and Pilates. She was inducted into the Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame in 2004, and this athletic background fuels her joy working with athletes of all levels…and informs her Pilates teaching style a bit!
