Jordana Behar - A lifelong health and fitness devotee, Jordana was looking for a smarter way tostay in shape after the birth of her son in 2001. She wanted something that not only made her look good, but feel good too. She tried Pilates and was hooked. It
was the perfect combination of strengthening, stretching, connecting the mind
and the body. Pilates made her feel healthier and stronger than ever—it was
like finding the fountain of youth. She was so inspired she decided to make a
major life change—she closed her health food store to pursue a career in
Pilates. Studying with Master Teachers Susan Moran and Bob Liekens of Power
Pilates in New York City, and Senior Teacher Juliet Harvey in Beacon, NY only
left her wanting more. In 2010 she became a certified Teacher Trainer. She's
always excited to share the joy of teaching and guide apprentices as they hone
their craft. "Teaching fits perfectly into my busy life as a full-time Mom,"
Jordana says. "There's nothing else I'd rather do than teach Pilates".
Enjoying the good life in Beacon, NY and pregnant with her second child, she
has no intention of slowing down. She plans to continue sharing her passion for
Pilates and remain a student always.She holds a B.A. in English Literature from
New York University. jordana@beaconpilates.com
