Jeni Austin
Certified Pilates Instructor
Originally from Minneapolis, Mn. Jeni studied dance and theater when at 16yrs old a routine checkup showed a slight curvature in her spine so her doctors decided to fuse her thoracic spine with a titanium rod for prevention of scoliosis. It wasn't until 20 years later she discovered Pilates. Finally an exercise program that didn't limit her because her lack of flexion in her spine. In fact, It was the first time since her younger years she felt as good as she did when she was a dancer. So she decided to get her Certificate as a Pilates Trainer with Pilates Sport Center in Studio City CA. Jeni is inspired everyday by people she has met and trained. To be a part of someone’s transformation to a healthier, better body, and to help them reach their goals and have a greater awareness about their body that transcends to their day to day lives is the best reward around! I believe working out should be fun and not a chore. With Pilates their are so many levels and styles and progressive evolution to the practice you can do it for a lifetime. Whether you are a student or a teacher you can always discover new ways to move, and learn, and in so doing learn new things about yourself in the process! Something fun about me: I'm a goofball and still a thespian at heart. Any chance I can dress up, like Halloween or Renaissance I'm there! And you don't have to ask me twice to sing karaoke. Even if I don't really know the song. :D
