Rebecca is a joyous and energetic Pilates Instructor who is certified in Reformer & Mat Pilates as well as Bodhi Suspension System. Rebecca began her Pilates journey by participating in LaBriece’s Mat Classes in Evilard. Inspired by the changes she felt in her own body from the Pilates Matwork, Rebecca embarked on the path of learning to teach first Mat Pilates, then went on to learn Bodhi as well as the beloved Reformer apparatus. She has since added the Pilates Chair and Tower to her repertoire of teaching skills. Impassioned by her own journey in the importance of weight loss & healthy living she loves teaching Pilates to a diversity of students, young and old.

Peggy-sue Noth

Yoga Instructor

Peggy-sue ist in Biel geboren und lebt mit ihrer Familie in Evilard. Schon in ihrer Kindheit hatte Tanz und Bewegung einen wichtigen Platz in ihrem Leben. 2008 gründete sie eine Tanz-Theater-Gruppe für Kinder und kam 2012 das erste Mal mit Yoga in Kontakt. Nach einer intensiven Yoga- und Tanz- Zeit absolvierte Peggy-sue das 200h-Teacher-Training bei Nakul Kapur und Karin Rüeger in Magglingen. Im 2017 startete sie ihr 300h-Advanced-Yoga-Teacher Training bei Nakul Kapur in Zürich und bildet sich fortan bei nationalen und internationalen Workshops stets weiter. Der kraftvolle und zugleich liebevolle Umgang mit dem eigenen Körper, eine bewusste Atmung und die korrekte Ausrichtung spielen eine zentrale Rolle in Peggy-sue’s Unterricht. Sie unterstützt ihre Schüler, sich selbst besser wahrzunehmen und ihren Geist zur Ruhe zu bringen. Auch ist es ihr ein Anliegen, dass sich die im Yoga gelernte Achtsamkeit im Alltag integrieren und anwenden lässt und jeden Einzelnen dort abzuholen wo er oder sie steht und sie mit viel Sorgfalt in die Kunst des Yoga einzuführen. Peggy-sue unterrichtet auf Deutsch und Französisch.
