Two of the most experienced Pilates educators working today — dedicated to your growth as a teacher.
Lead Master Trainer
Jennifer Gianni M.Ed., NCPT is a Balanced Body Master Instructor whose work has shaped how Pilates educators around the world approach movement science and women's health.
As a Balanced Body Master Instructor and SmartSpine Faculty member with over thirty years in the movement world, she has trained instructors across four continents — from intimate studio workshops to major international conferences — and is widely recognized for her depth of knowledge, clinical precision, and warmth as a teacher.
Her approach is interdisciplinary and layered, drawing on rigorous anatomical study, current movement science, fascial research, and somatic practice. She holds particular expertise in women's health — including Pre & Postnatal Pilates, Healing Diastasis, and Movement for Menopause — and consults with leading researchers and clinicians in the field, including Diane Lee, the world's foremost authority on pelvic pain and Diastasis Rectus Abdominis, bringing the latest clinical breakthroughs directly into her teaching.
Jennifer is the creator of the Fusion Pilates Pre and Postnatal Movement Specialist teacher training program and director of FusionPilatesEDU.com. Her curriculum — and her book — provide movement teachers, clinicians, and birth professionals with tools to improve client outcomes during pregnancy, labor, and the postnatal stage. Her signature programs are known for being both scientifically rigorous and deeply practical. Jennifer's passion is mentoring the brilliant movement practitioners who study with her, both in her Grow mentorship program and in the Pre and Postnatal Movement Specialist course.
