Jacquie Velasco holds three certifications from BASI pilates. One for their comprehensive program, one for pilates for pathologies and injuries, and the other a specialization in pilates for dancers. She also holds a certificate in ballet infused reformer under the study of master ballet dancer, Or Kahlon.

Beyond her credentials, she is known for her creativity, effective communication, infectiously kind and upbeat energy, and for being able to infuse a sense of humor during even the hardest of exercises. As a lifelong dancer who had to rebuild her health after a lengthy struggle that culminated in a thyroidectomy, she also deeply understands the importance of movement therapy in every sense, at every stage of life and fitness.
