The most precious tool you have is your own body! With movement you make a positive difference and as a Physical Education teacher I teach Pilates/FUNdamentals and MELT classes (in addition, I am a rehab specialized & STOTT PILATES® Instructor Trainer). Are you moving with me?
As a contemporary Pilates instructor, I specialize in teaching functional exercises that enhance everyday movement and overall well-being. My classes are designed to improve your strength and also to help you move more efficiently and comfortably in your daily activities. My tailored programs aim to meet your unique needs and goals.
Dancing and movement is my driving force in life and I love to share this passion with K'dancers. Classes are taught using the Simonson Method, a fine "injury prevented" technique. Through good posture, deep stretches, strengthening the muscles and respecting the natural range of motion of the joints, you learn to move organically and feel what is good for your body.
I have enjoyed teaching Vinyasa and Yin yoga classes since 2017. My yoga classes at K'dans are a combination of Yang and Yin. From being physically in motion in a peaceful flow, to more peace and quiet, where your breathing is leading and you mindfull in search of relaxation. The goal is to leave the studio feeling space and freedom in your body and mind.
I teach contemporary classes at K'dans. In my classes I teach techniques to make you aware of your body. How to seek more freedom of movement and extremes through grip and restriction. Exercises with emphasis on movement flow, different dynamic qualities and rhythms connected to gravity. A challenging but nourishing dance class for the mind and body.
My classes are a hybrid of Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga: the dynamism and flow of Ashtanga, the precision and attention to action in postures of Iyengar. My enjoyment of yoga is contagious. My class makes you feel powerful and energized, and at the same time I help you discover the peace and concentration within yourself. For people with physical complaints I can make a customized program.
Ever since I was young, I have been passionate about sports. After years of working in banking and advertising, I followed my heart and started working as a fitness and group class instructor. Since 2018, I have enjoyed teaching Pilates mat and reformer classes at K'dans. I am also a physical therapist and enjoy combining my knowledge from both fields. My motto is: No matter how slow you go, you still lap everybody on the couch.
I am originally from Alaska. Outside is where I feel most at home. Movement has always been important to me, moving my body and moving forward in life and learning. Working at k'dans is wonderful; the clients are always motivated, which energizes me in my teaching. I try to give my classes a creative twist, focusing on connecting with yourself and your environment.
As a South African I value being a part of community: Ubuntu ( I am because we are). I have a background in Occupational Therapy and I love helping people holistically. Teaching Pilates matwork & Reformer gives me a chance to share joy in movement. Come move & grow together at K'dans!
Since teaching Pilates, I feel and experience that my body remains true to my great love for a very long time: dance! This experience brings me both peace and joy. As a teacher, I get joy from the smiles on clients' faces after class!
I am Anouk Sergo and lovingly teach classical and modern dance to all ages, from beginner to professional.
