Senior Trainer and Rehab Specialist, TTIP Instructor

Individualized private sessions, engaging group classes and an attentive eye are at the heart of Jessica Fudim’s approach to teaching Pilates at EHS. Jessica received her Pilates certification from the Ellie Herman Studio in 2000 and continues to fortify her teaching skills and repertoire through her studies with Balanced Body University and respected teachers such as Eric Franklin, Marie-José Blom, Mary Bowen and Peter Roel. She completed Lizz Roman’s Pilates-based physical rehabilitation training in 2002 and assisted Ms. Roman in her recent training program. Jessica also taught Pilates in New York and as a faculty member of the Experimental Performance Institute (EPI). She discovered Pilates while completing her Dance BFA studies at UC Irvine and CU Boulder. Determined to trump a doctor’s advice that she “stop dancing” as a result of back and foot pain, Jessica turned to Pilates for rehabilitation and a deeper understanding of how the body works. In turn, she is invested in empowering each of her clients to integrate the Pilates method toward reaching their mind-body goals—whether the aim is to rehabilitate from injuries, improve posture, increase the efficiency of physical performance, or simply get in better touch with the body. You can see her in action in the “Ball” Chapter of Ellie Herman’s Pilates for Dummies and on the stage performing with her dance-theater company, Jessica Fudim & Dance Animals www.myspace.com/danceanimals.
