Cécile Kaltenbach
Certified STOTT PILATES® Instructor Matwork/ Reformer
Trained STOTT PILATES® Instructor Cadillac, Chair & Barrels
Cécile has been a professional ballet dancer for over 17 years.
She studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris before leaving France to perform with renowned ballet companies around the world. She began her international career with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal, then joined the Royal Swedish Ballet in Stockholm. She finally settled in Berlin with the Staatsballett, where she has been performing as a Demi-Soloist for the last 12 years.
Throughout her dancing career, she has faced many injuries. In 2009, following a serious foot injury and surgery, she discovered STOTT PILATES through an instructor at the ballet company in Stockholm. Working one-on-one with her teacher to "rebuild" her body after such a long break from dancing, she made her way back on stage stronger than before and understood the importance of incorporating Pilates into her ballet training.
Since then, Pilates has been a vital part of her daily routine, whether dancing, resting, or recovering from injuries.
In 2020, Cécile decided to deepen her knowledge and passion for Pilates by completing the STOTT PILATES Instructor Training. Cécile is certified in both Mat and Reformer Pilates. She is currently continuing her journey to complete her education in all equipment. Her goal is to share with everyone the tremendous benefits Pilates has on both the body and mind.
