Linda Jacob’s passion for Pilates started in professional dance school. She loved it instantly and has for the past 25 years. After teaching Pilates to friends in Mexico and Barcelona, she moved back to Winnipeg and knew she wanted to teach it full time. A certified instructor for the past ten years, Linda loves using equipment and props to keep her classes fun and challenging.
