Christine, An, Rani & Cy

Christine

Clinical psychologist by day, and PT and reformer coach by night. 'Mens sana in corpore sana'; a healthy mind in a healthy body, fusion of mental and physical health.

I've always had a passion for the mind, and while enjoying my work on the psychiatric ER, I've always craved some more balance, and found this balance through working with the body. I first started with some foundation with a EREPS 3 certification, and then found my way into reformer teaching. Both of these came into life after years of being a strength training and reformer pilates student myself, and which I still am to this day.

I've had my reformer pilates training at The Brick reformer academy, and have been teaching at The Brick since then. My PT background started with the PCA EREPS 3, and have been teaching strenght training and HIIT classes at Rite and Fithaus.

On the reformer you can find me for the classical pilates repertoire, for each level, as well as stenght x reformer lessons. Think lower- or upperbody focused training but combined with the advantages of the reformer apparatus; focusing also on flexibility and core stability.

Rani

Rani is a certified Reformer and Mat Pilates instructor, trained at The Brick Academy under the guidance of Michiel Gysels and Oona De Vos.

Sport and movement have been a big part of her life from an early age. Driven by her passion for an active lifestyle, she believes strongly in an all-round approach to health, where strength, fitness, mobility, and body awareness go hand in hand.

For Rani, Pilates is the perfect complement to any form of training. The method not only builds strength and flexibility, but also improves posture, supports a strong and healthy back, and creates more efficient movement patterns in daily life. In her sessions, quality of movement comes first, with close attention to technique, control, and personal guidance. Her goal is to help clients feel stronger, more energetic, and more confident in their own body, regardless of age or fitness level.

An

I love leading a healthy lifestyle in which Pilates, strength training, and good nutrition play an important role. That is why I am so happy to be part of Studio A, where all these aspects come together.

Why do Pilates and strength training go hand in hand?

Pilates helps you move consciously and with control, while strength training gives you the ability to shape your body. You need both, in combination!

As a certified Pilates instructor, I focus on improving body/mind connection, core strength, and control. I help my clients, regardless of age or experience level, to build a strong and toned body.

Cy

Cy's connection with Pilates grew from a deep fascination with the body — not just how it looks, but how it moves, adapts, and learns from the inside out.

That curiosity turned into a practice, and that practice turned into a passion she now shares with others at Studio A. She offers sessions one-to-one or with a maximum of three people, allowing her to focus entirely on the individual body — its habits, limitations, and potential. Each session is built around posture and alignment, strength and mobility, and the movement patterns and goals specific to you. Small groups mean real corrections, a calm focused environment, and exercises adapted in real time.

For Cy, Pilates is not about intensity — it's about intelligence. Through awareness, repetition, and control, the body becomes stronger, more balanced, and naturally upright. A practice that doesn't just change how you move, but how you carry yourself.
