THE PILATES GREENHOUSE - Key Persons
Jane Jones Bradley has been a practicing Teacher of Pilates since 1999. Her fitness journey began after the birth of her second daughter in 1992. Weighing in at over 200lbs, Jane knew she had to make some significant changes to lead a healthy and happy life. She ventured into a local gym in Ridgefield with her baby girl in a car seat and became a daily fixture in step/aerobic and strength training classes, losing 70lbs in 8 months. The music, the movements, the power of feeling fit and strong and the gym community all inspired her to continue her everyday fitness commitment while carrying her third daughter, born in 1993. Soon after, the gym offered a course for those interested in becoming a Fitness Instructor. That was the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of fitness based movement across the spectrum. Spinning, Yoga, Step & Aerobic Classes, Strength/Weight Room Training, and ultimately Pilates were all part of Jane's teaching repertoire. In 1999, Jane purchased the gym and reconfigured it into a haven for women. Everywoman's Spirit - A Center for Yoga, Fitness & Pilates was born. In 2007, Jane opened Everybody Pilates in North Salem, NY and operated both businesses for the next two years. Of all the fitness modalities, Pilates became her undying passion. In 2009, Jane opened The Pilates Greenhouse, wanting to focus solely on the benefits and healing properties of The Pilates Method. Jane then chose to become a Pilates Certificate Instructor in 2011 so that she could share her knowledge and teaching skills with others interested in becoming desirable Pilates Instructors. In 2019, Jane began her certification process to become an Integrative Positional Therapist to help people to relieve chronic pain issues with her help and on their own in conjunction with the Pilates Method. Her passion for continuing education, healing and helping people from all walks of life has been her heart's desire and focus for several decades. Her vast experience, knowledge, energy, compassion for others and teaching talents have made her a sought after instructor with a stellar reputation in our surrounding communities.
