Jill Locke

Jill recently relocated to Amsterdam from NYC where she was a professional modern dancer and Pilates teacher. She received her training and certification at the Kane School for Core Integration under the direction of Kelly Kane. Through 2004 she studied and worked for Jennifer Kries, one of New York City's most prominent Pilates' teachers. Her last project with Kries before relocating to the Netherlands was a series of Pilates and Yoga videos produced by Sony (2006 releases).

As a teacher Jill's clientele has ranged from athletes and professional dancers to everyday people wanting to redesign their bodies or alleviate painful back problems. In her classes she focuses on creating a safe haven for people to push and rediscover their bodies as well as creating a deep understanding of Pilates principles for people to take into their everyday lives. Jill also pulls from other disciplines for classes, using dance, yoga, various martial arts, Feldenkrais, BMC, and BrainGym to expand vocabulary and create warmth and flow.
