We are very excited to announce a very special guest who will be joining us at GMHA Camp this year!
Jackie Bachor received her Classical Pilates certification in 2007 from Romana’s Pilates, the authentic, precise and highly personalized form of Pilates that follows the original system taught by Joseph Pilates himself. As a life-long equestrian who competed in junior western as a youngster and then eventing and field hunter trials as an adult, Jackie is uniquely qualified to help riders build the inner stability, alignment and muscular control needed to ride with confidence and connection. Jackie has been helping athletes attain their sports goals for many years. She began her career in Manhattan at the famed Equinox Fitness Clubs and became a Level 4 Teacher Trainer for the Romana’s Pilates Organization. In 2011 she opened her first True Pilates studio in Florida where she catered to NFL players throughout the league, eventually being hired to work exclusively for the Miami Dolphins. Today, Jackie works with both equestrians and every-day movers out of her studio located at Merryfield Farm in Millbrook, NY. Her in-depth understanding of the body’s neuromuscular system and joint mechanics, combined with her passion for classical Pilates and horses, has helped hundreds of her clients achieve a stronger, more centered body, and a deeper partnership with their horses. “Jackie is one of the finest Pilates coaches I have ever worked with – if not the very best. Her invaluable experience as an equestrian and dressage trainer has given her a uniquely refined eye for identifying and correcting movement patterns.” – Wayne Diesel, Physiotherapist and former Director of Player Performance for the Miami Dolphins and San Antonio Spurs
