Vania Chan

Vania got into Pilates as a very injured acrobat who reached a crossroads of giving up circus life or rehabilitating to be able to train and perform again. She did not aspire to become a Pilates instructor, but was encouraged to do so and eventually became certified in STOTT PILATES® Method. Later, Vania was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome/ Generalized Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder– which explains a significant part of her experiences. Her teaching tends to be detailed, thorough, and exacting with imaginative cues interspersed. In Pilates, a shape may look similar, but one can entirely miss the intended benefits of the exercises if one is simply just trying to copy another body or make it through a routine.
