Studio Anna Mora was born in 2005. The studio is the result of my vision on movement and the wish to develop new approaches, combining the artistic with the healthy.
The result is a studio in which the student is the starting point of each training. No matter what method you want to explore – modern or classical dance, body mind or Pilates – we will work from your possibilities and in line with your ambitions.
Thus moving will be full of joy!
Some words about my background:
I discovered my passion at the age of 8, when following my first dance classes, and continued my education as a professional dancer. Educated as ballerina in classical ballet I danced with the “Compania Nacional de Danza de Mexico”, ”Het National Ballet” (The Netherlands), “Neoclassical Dance theater” (Frankfurt) and “Opera di Jessi and Macerata” (Italy) among others.
While loving dance and moving, it was too often during the last years of my career that I suffered from pain and injuries. Supported by the method of Pilates and Gyrotonics I recovered from a serious injury and completed my career as a performing artist in 1999.
In 1995 I started teaching in the Netherlands. At that time I taught floor barre, Contrology (nowadays called the Pilates Method) and Ballet.
Later I added other methods, like Gyrokinesis and Pilates equipment, (PMA) Pilates Method Alliance.
While all methods I have learned and continue learning add to my repertoire, the focus on a single method feels too dogmatic and restricted. In my vision different methods add to each other and offer an opportunity for a customized training.
This vision called for the foundation of Studio Anna Mora. A place where people can take distance from their hectic and stressful lives, offering a warm, calm, clean and personal environment which supports them in following their personal (physical) desire and needs.
For me and our professional and experienced trainers this means that we continue learning in collaboration with our clients. As our clients (’ bodies) are unique and thus deserve a tailored approach, we continue learning with you.
I hope we will share this joy together with you,
Thank you,
Anna
