Tess Whelan is a second-generation Classical Pilates teacher with more than 35 years of experience and a direct lineage to the original New York tradition.
Tess trains Pilates teachers internationally and teaches the method with the precision, sequence and transitions of the classical system.
Certified by the National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP) and a member of the FPMP, Tess is committed to rigorous professional standards.
Her background as a registered nurse, ongoing health-sector education and performing arts experience give her teaching a unique combination of safety, anatomy and artistry.

Mat work and apparatus training complement one another. The spring-based equipment guides the body, reduces compensatory movement patterns and develops a unique level of body awareness.
The Reformer, Cadillac, Tower, Wunda Chair, Barrel and Mat work together to lengthen the spine, improve alignment, open the shoulders and strengthen the powerhouse with precision and control.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and is adapted to your individual needs: children, adults, seniors, athletes, prenatal and postnatal Pilates (reserved for clients with previous regular Pilates experience). Sessions are available by appointment in the studio, at home in Paris or online.
