LOCATION
Pilates with Jane Toulouse on the Rue du Rempart Saint Etienne is located in the historic center of Toulouse between two major landmarks the 14th century Cathedral Saint Etienne and the Place Occitane. Called “the Pink City”, the 4th city in France, Toulouse is a modern, vibrant and dynamic economic and cultural Powerhouse of the legendary Occitanie region in Southwest France.
COMMUNITY
Jane Allan moved from Paris to the stunning Occitanie region and to Toulouse. She fell in love with the region and the welcoming community and decided to open a new Pilates Studio in Toulouse.
Today Pilates with Jane participates in the training of dancers of a Toulouse-based contemporary dance company Les Gens Charles.
Jane Allan,
Pilates Instructor and Studio Owner
I toured all over the world as a professional Aerialist and Trapeze Artist for 20 years – this extraordinary experience taught me how to take care of my body and get the most out of my well being and fitness every single day – with potentially life changing consequences. I took up Romana’s Pilates late in my career and saw remarkable improvements in my performance as a result.
Captivated and intrigued , in 2006 I embarked on the Gold Standard of Pilates Teacher Training : Romana’s Pilates in New York City founded by Romana Kryzanowska: herself a direct disciple of Joseph Hubertus Pilates.
I have been dedicated to teaching Romana’s Pilates ever since
- in Parisien Pilates studios,
- for the artists at the Cirque de Soleil,
- in Circus Schools,
- on the faculty of the Romana’s Pilates Teacher Training Centre in London (Kinetic Pilates),
- in businesses Louis Vuitton, BHV Marais , Institut Geographic National and Méteo France.
I consistently update my skills and training with Continuing Education, traveling internationally to learn more from Romana’s Pilates Masters. Today I teach in Toulouse and in a home Studio in the iconic Occitan village of Montreal (11290).
