YOUR INSTRUCTOR: SASKIA Roesink
STOTT-certified with 11 years of experience
During the hands-on training, you’ll receive personalized guidance from Saskia
.
Her basic premise is that a good teacher must be able to look
beyond the exercise itself.
During the practical sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to practice,
make mistakes, ask questions, and develop your own
teaching style.
Saskia has been a podiatrist since 1992 and a certified Stott Pilates instructor since 2015. I completed my training in Cape Town, South Africa (The Movementlab) and The Hague (K’Dans).
My passion for pilates began years ago, when by chance I was introduced to this unique way of moving. Through my work as a podiatrist, in which I treat people with foot and posture problems on a daily basis, I became more and more convinced of the added value of pilates. This method creates awareness of the body and posture and helps people function better under professional guidance.
My vision is simple but powerful: by looking at one's posture differently, many injuries can be resolved or even prevented. Moreover, pilates is not only effective, but also a fun and challenging way to exercise. I look forward to sharing my expertise and enthusiasm with you!
