Hi, I’m Amanda Gemon!

I am a Certified Mat Pilates Instructor with a huge passion for movement. I truly believe that Pilates is for every body, no matter your age or fitness level. Whether you are just starting out or have been active for years, my goal is to help you feel strong, flexible, and confident.

Knowledge You Can Trust

I love sharing the “why” behind every move! I have spent a lot of time studying human anatomy—which is just a fancy way of saying I know how your muscles and bones work together. Because I understand how the body moves, I can make sure our workouts are both safe and effective.

Pilates for Everyone

Every person is unique, and I celebrate that in my classes. I focus on:

Smart Modifications: I can change any exercise to make sure it feels right for your specific body.

All Ages & Stages: I enjoy working with everyone, from young students to seniors.

Supportive Coaching: My teaching style is upbeat, professional, and encouraging.

I want you to leave the mat feeling taller, stronger, and energized. I truly believe that when we move better, we feel better!

Yin style yoga is the ‘quiet yet profound” practice. Poses are held longer and are static and passive compared to other types of yoga. It is complementary to other styles of yoga like Ashtanga, Vinyasa etc. The Yin asanas, (sanskrit word for poses) are to encourage the fascia and deeper tissues to release tightness, stickiness and allow life energy, Chi or prana to flow freely.

Each pose ideally is held at least 3 mins but may be shorter or longer depending on the individual. Options are offered and encouraged to feel the sensations targeting different areas.

Be open to try a yin practice. I will be honoured to teach as I continue to learn yin from my modern yoga teachers.

Benefits and enhancements Physical: stability, strength, flexibility and endurance. Mental: clarity, focus, concentration. Emotional: balance and maturity. Energetic: vitality, balance and flow Spiritual: awareness, intention, grounding and connection.
