Madeleine is a passionate Pilates teacher with a background in dance. Her love of movement and fascination with the human body began in ballet classes at an early age.
She studied dance at the Brabants Conservatorium and then completed teacher training at the Rotterdams Conservatorium. Madeleine danced with the Internationale Danstheater, taught ballet at several music schools and ran her own ballet school in Monnickendam.
She discovered Pilates after injuries. A certified Pilates teacher since 2008, she completed the Polestar® comprehensive programme in 2017.
Her classes focus on efficiency, simplicity and effectiveness in each exercise. Conscious breathing can make the training easier, lighter and more enjoyable. Alongside muscular strength, Madeleine pays attention to balance between body and mind.
Madeleine teaches mat and reformer group classes and private sessions. Check the schedule for her group classes or email the studio about her availability for private sessions.
