Jennine Baillie
Combining Pilates and GYROTONIC® methodologies

Jennine began her fascination with the art of movement as a young student of ballet, gymnastics and swimming. She was born in Long Beach, California, and attended California State Long Beach where she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management, with a Minor in Dance.

Jennine is a certified Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® instructor, as well as a certified Pilates instructor.

Jennine was introduced to Pilates in 2000, and was astounded by her rapid improvement of overall core and abdominal strength. In 2004, she began private Pilates training and knew almost immediately that she wanted to teach the art of Pilates. In 2007/08, she earned her Pilates certification in Core Intelligence (a highly specialized course introducing core muscle awareness), and Advances in Pilates Techniques from master teacher, Marie-Jose Blom-Lawrence, at Long Beach Dance Conditioning in Long Beach, California. Jennine was trained using state of the art Balanced Body Pilates equipment based on the principles and techniques of Joseph H. Pilates with an emphasis on rehabilitation.

In 2009, Jennine began her pre-training certification on the Expansion Tower, and completed her foundation training in 2010. She also added a Gyrokinesis® certification in 2011.

Jennine specializes in post-surgery rehabilitation, and is a strong believer in using Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® to prevent injuries and surgery for hip, knee and shoulder issues. She utilizes her dance background, Pilates and Gyrotonic® training to create engaging and challenging sessions for both private clients and groups. 

She is married and lives in Laguna Beach, California with her husband, Alistair, and her very spoiled Scottie dog, Moonie.
