France
Katia Hammouche runs Pilates Studio Strasbourg since its opening in 2010. Former athlete, it was natural that her search for a comprehensive training method, which respects the body, leads to the practice of Pilates.
She went to train in Switzerland Pilates Institute, a contemporary school, to improve her own practice and understanding of the principles of the method. Learning from internationally renowned instructors increases her interest in Pilates. She went, moreover, continuous training with Pilates Institute but also looks to more traditional approaches of the method. She has been over a year in a mentorship program with Iva Mazzoleni, second-generation teacher. This training allows her to meet and work with Lolita San Miguel, Mary Bowen, Kathy Corey…
Finally, she is also studying the Pilates repertoire through the concept of Anatomy Trains of Tom Myers (CPM Education (Contrology Pilates Method)) and this unique map where the body is seen as an intense myofascial network connections.
She was in a mentoring program over 18 months with Iva Mazzoleni, disciple of Mrs. Lolita San Miguel. After spending a lot of time to “understand” and “learn” Katia used that experience to better integrate the method through learning based primarily on experimentation.
Accompanied by Iva Mazzoleni, she meets and discovers more work and approach of Lolita San Miguel, Mary Bowen, Kathy Corey … Her desire to return to the roots of the method and the wish to have the honor of being educated by Mrs. Lolita San Miguel pushes her to apply for the “Pilates Master Mentor Program” in 2015. This unique experience made her completely believe in the approach of Lolita San Miguel and the desire to help in her “legacy” program for new teachers. Following the mentorship, she became a second-generation teacher and an educator for “Lolita’s Legacy” program which she considers one of the best program currently on the market in terms of pedagogy.
Katia has been for ten years in charge of public health studies. Initially formed in Demography and Sociology, she is interested thereafter to psychology. She is now pilates teacher and clinical psychologist.
