Jeanne Schickler Compisi
Jeanne is a certified Pilates instructor, modern dancer and choreographer, with over ten years of professional teaching experience. By incorporating Pilates into her dance training,
Jeanne recognized early on the many benefits of Pilates for
not only for dancers and athletes, but for people of all ages
and physiques. This discovery along with inspiring sessions
taught by Master Teacher and Pilates elder Kathy Grant led
to a career in Pilates.

In addition to teaching traditional Pilates methodology, Jeanne
has training and experience in working with pregnant women
and clients that suffer from arthritis, osteoporosis and physical injuries. For example, clients with injuries such as torn rotator
cuffs, herniated discs and torn menisci learn how to strengthen
the appropriate muscles through Pilates and rehabilitative
exercises to relieve the pain and in many cases, forgo surgery.
She believes in customizing each session according to clients'
needs, posture and alignment and makes sure that the client
learns something new with each session.

Jeanne holds a BA in Dance from William Smith College, an
MFA from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts                                                              and received her Pilates mat and apparatus certifications from the                                                       Kane School of Core Integration.  Jeanne has taught private
and group classes in New York City for the past five years at                                                              Pilates Reforming New York, Equinox, The Sports Club LA and                                                               Bally Total Fitness.  In addition to running Pilates of Rochester, Inc.,                                         Jeanne currently teaches Pilates mat classes at the Country Club of
Rochester and teaches both modern dance and Pilates for the
Nazareth Academy Dance Company.  Jeanne is a proud member of
the Pilates Method Alliance (www.pilatesmethodalliance.org), an
