Stefan
Stefan teaches Reformer Pilates at Purajana. His Pilates story has started 10 years ago in the USA when he suffered from back pain and mental fatigue during long working hours. Besides a daily Yoga routine in the morning, he discovered and started to practice Reformer Pilates. After just a few sessions he already felt less pain and a big improvement in his posture. Over time Pilates helped him to feel physically and mentally stronger, self-confident as well as to be fit and dynamic.
Stefan started to practice twice a week on the Pilates Reformer and in parallel developed his anatomy knowledge to understand better the functions of his body and the reasons behind his back pain.
He has decided to take his passion to a professional level to help people improve their physical and mental well-being. Stefan completed his Reformer Pilates Beginner to Advanced (Level 1-3) Teacher Training with internationally renowned Balanced Body® in the USA and received further teacher trainings in Mat Pilates Level 1-3, Anatomy and Movement Principles. He continues to expand his knowledge by attending workshops, continuing personal practice and lessons.
He invites you on this journey and is looking forward to meeting you!
