Keeping Bodies in Balance with over 35 Years of Experience
Andrea Goyan and Jennifer Ashe - co-founders and Owners
Andrea Goyan, (andrea@bodiesinbalance.com), a PMA Gold certified instructor, began teaching Pilates to private clients in 1990. Starting in 1994, Andrea became the exercise director for Studio Medical Group, a chiropractic facility that used Pilates in conjunction with chiropractic treatment to resolve chronic pain.
Jenny Ashe, (jenny@bodiesinbalance.com) a PMA Gold Certified instructor, was trained and certified in Pilates by Marie Jose Blum-Lawrence at Long Beach Dance Conditioning in 1996. A dancer in New York, she studied with ABT, Melissa Hayden, and Twyla Tharp, to name a few.
In the spring of 2000 both Andrea and Jenny trained and were certified in GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM<sup>®</sup> studying with Lisa Marie Goodman. They are also certified Yamuna Body Rolling Practitioners and additionally utilize this technique in their workouts. Theirs is a body-mind approach to the teaching, understanding that not only is every client’s body different, but every client learns differently.
