About Jacqueline Au
 Jackie is dual-certified by Polestar Pilates, LLC of Miami, Florida as well as by Power Pilates, a Classical Pilates school based in New York. As such, her training is dual inclusive of the Therapeutic method and of the Classical method.
She welcomes clients ranging from the post-rehab or sedentary background, desiring to get back to normal functions, to dancers, golfers and elite athletes who need a good butt-kicking workout for increased core strength, range of movement and refined proprioception awareness to excel in their sport or art of choice. Jackie has more than 1,000 hours in apprentice training and 10 years teaching experience in the Pilates method of body conditioning.
In each session, Jackie combines the use of every piece of apparatus - the cadillac, the reformer, the mat, the chair, and the barrel - to create a personalized workout for her client. This is the way Joseph Pilates intended for the method to be taught. For Jackie and many Pilates teachers, it is a privilege to continue his legacy through proper studying, teaching and preserving the integrity of the method.
Jackie also brings her passion of the Russian Kettlebell into her Pilates training. She is certified as a HardStyle Kettlebell girevik. Effective and safe kettlebell training requires in-depth knowledge of body alignment and movement mechanics. Jackie combines the use of Pilates apparatus and kettlebell drills to create fat-melting, muscle sculpting, no-nonsense workouts.
All training formats at Isofitt Pialtes Studio have these factors in common:
- Trainings are based on safe and sound Pilates movement mechanics;
- Trainings are no frills, backed by logic;
- Trainings are catered to each individual according to your goals in combination with your bodyscan assessment by your teacher on the day of the workout.
As such, successful Pilates teaching requires the combined attributes of the knowledge of physiology, the intuitive "Pilates eye" for alignment, and most importantly, an unceasing faith and belief in the students’ strengths and possibilities. Everyone deserves the opportunity to restore his/her agility and strength, mentally and physically, to the God-given capacity we all enjoyed in our childhood. Movement is a gift and a blessing. It is our mission to show you just that.
Jackie received her undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Political Science. Outside of teaching, she strives to continue to be a hands-on mother and disciplinarian for as long as her kids will humor her for it. She currently resides with her family in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
