Meet Jodie McGillvray
As a girl I enjoyed ballet and gymnastics and later as a teen, skiing and competitive triathlon... I was always moving. I always enjoyed physical activity, unfortunately, by the age of 20 chronic pain started to plague me. Endless visits to some of Vancouver’s best physiotherapists over the next 6 years didn’t help. During these years gentle yoga seemed to be the only physical outlet that I could enjoy without pain. Thankfully, I found a rheumatologist who suggested I try Pilates. After a short private session, I noticed a lessoning of my pain and was so inspired by the effectiveness of Pilates that I was hooked and have never looked back.
Two boys, my husband, our dog, hiking, skiing, mountain bike riding, paddle boarding, and friendships...these are the gifts that wellness and movement have brought me. I am living proof of the profound power of Pilates
About Albion Pilates
At Albion Pilates I focus mainly on private sessions. It is my belief that private instruction will increase your results because it allows me to cater to your body’s personal needs. You will work more efficiently and get better results. This is how real Pilates should be taught and how Joseph created it.
