With Pilates exercises, you will learn to strengthen your core muscles, which will help you improve your posture and movement control. You will learn breathing techniques that will help you retrain your body and balance your body's functions. With the exercises, you will also gain strength in the shoulder blades, shoulder girdle, and buttocks. With regular practice, you will learn to use your body in a way that is also beneficial in everyday life and other sports. Realizing and learning body control is one of the most important things you can do for the well-being of your body.
I am Jaana Kotro, a physiotherapy and exercise entrepreneur from Savonlinna at Pilates & Fysio Unelma. My mission is to get people moving and taking care of their bodies at every stage of life. My favorite subject is body control, that is, all the wonders that our bodies are capable of. There is no situation where you cannot move and take care of your body, you just have to find the right ways for everyone.
Exercise has always been a part of my life and that is why I wanted to train in the field. I graduated as a physiotherapist in 2007 and have since completed numerous further training courses. I graduated as a PhysioPilates instructor in 2016 and completed the Somatic Pilates instructor further training in 2024. In addition, I am a Spiral Stabilization (2019) and FasciaMethod instructor (2016). I have also acquired the qualifications of a Personal Trainer (2021) and a Psychological Coach (2025). I train myself regularly every year, because I am very fascinated by the functioning of the human body and I want to guarantee my clients the highest quality services based on current knowledge and research.
It is important for me to be able to do work that I like and that inspires me. Pilates training is a big source of inspiration, because its impact on the human body is enormous. This is why clients want to come back to my classes year after year.
Welcome to my classes! ❤
