Jennifer Van Deausen has always had a life of
fitness. Growing up was filled with horses, ski slopes, swimming, running, and gymnastics. She took her first fitness job
at the age of 18 in 1987 at Mariner Square Athletic Club. First working at the front desk, but eventually showing clients
how to use the fitness equipment. During college she majored in Nursing and Nutrition. Realizing that Nursing and Nutrition
in a hospital setting at the time were not as holistic as she would have hoped she returned to fitness. Working as a fitness
therapist in 1993 in Orange County she discovered how rewarding it was to truely help people discover how good they could
feel. Her path has taken her through the UCSD Personal Trainer Extenstion program back in 1996. Then led her through massage
therapy school at IPSB in 2000, and finally to pilates. Jennifer Van Deausen received her STOTT PILATES certification in 2002,
and opened up what is now Pegasus Pilates in 2003.
Jennifer's two new books will be published soon."Pilates for the Equestrian Rider"
and "Find Lean"
