About Jane
Jane is a movement enthusiast and danced professionally in Vancouver for over a decade. As a former dance artist and a hypermobile human, Jane has a fair bit of first-hand experience with injury, pain and dysfunction in the body. Pilates has been a practice that she comes back to time and again, to help repattern, integrate, and heal.
Jane has been practicing Pilates on and off for over 25 years. She holds 2 comprehensive teaching certifications, one through PhysicalMind (Contemporary) and the second through Pilates from the Center (Classical). She holds a BFA in dance from SFU and is a certified level 1 Hypopressives teacher. She has completed additional workshops and courses in pre/post-natal Pilates, Pilates for rehabilitation, Yamuna ball rolling, Franklin Method, and myofascial slings through Anatomy Trains in Motion.
As a teacher, she offers the culmination of a life in dance, having spent 35 years immersed in thinking, talking and embodying movement through that lens. She has spent thousands of hours studying and practicing Pilates, and her continued learning includes building a deeper understanding of fascia, biomechanics, and the nervous system. The teachers and practitioners whose support has been the most meaningful to Jane, have been humble, endlessly curious and authentically themselves. She strives to stay as present, open and honest as they are.
Jane is the owner of Tiny Goat Pilates & Movement, a name she chose because it aligns with her teaching philosophy: that just like tiny goats, we were born to express ourselves through joyful movement. The journey through healing and repatterning however, isn’t linear, and is often challenging, requiring patience and perseverance. If we can tap into joy then that process is going to unfold with much greater ease. Jane makes it her goal in every session to help remind your system of the pleasure in movement. She tries to engage our sense of play so that from a place of curiosity and openness you can lean into what is possible, and what is maybe new or different.
If you're looking for Jane outside the Studio you'll find her immersed in a creative project, playing outside, and spending time with her beloved furry roommates.
