Martha Caflisch

Born 1952 in Ottawa, Canada.

Martha trained in classical ballet from an early age with Mme Nesta Toumine, former dancer with the Ballet Russe de Paris and the legendary Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo in the ‘30’s and ‘40’s and founder of Ottawa’s leading ballet school 'The Classical Ballet Studio' where she won a scholarship in 1960. Although Martha has by day pursued a career in law, receiving her law degree from the Université de Neuchâtel, Martha has never strayed far from the ballet classroom and remains an avid hobby dancer to this day.

Martha first came in contact with Joseph Pilates’ method during her ballet studies in Canada and when she moved to Zürich was able to learn the Joseph Pilates system, eventually qualifying herself as a Pilates trainer. Martha trained in Zürich where she successfully completed a 700-hour training program covering all apparatus (Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Small and High Barrels, Spine Corrector and Magic Circle) as well as a separate 102-hour Anatomy/Physiology course from the Bio-Medical Massage School in Zürich.

Martha continued to study Pilates at Romana's Pilates → www.romanaspilates.com under the supervision of Level 2 Instructor Philippe Taupin in Paris → www.studiopilatesdeparis.com as well as in New York at Romana's Pilates' home studio - True Pilates - with Level 2 Instructor Cynthia Shipley and Level 1 Instructor Sari Meiji Santo → www.truepilatesny.com. She successfully completed the Romana's Pilates re-certification program with Sari Meiji Santo in 2009.

Martha has been working as a certified Pilates trainer since 2002 and independently out of her own studio since 2003.
