​

Jaconel Janssen, originally from The Netherlands, is passionate about movement. She has been practising Pilates since 2000, qualified as a Pilates teacher in London in 2005 and came to Cork with her family in 2007 where she set up Pilates People Cork.

​

Jaconel continues her professional education by doing regular courses in the field of Pilates and movement education. She holds certifications in teaching exercise to older adults, clinical Pilates, pre-and postnatal exercise, iMoveFreely (intrinsic biomechanics and muscle release techniques), healthy foot movement, chair-yoga and regularly attends shorter sessions to stay up-to-date with a wide variety of movement matters.

​

In 2015 she qualified as a Buff Bones® instructor, a medically-endorsed movement system for bone and joint health, and became an advanced Buff Bones® instructor in 2023. She has a special interest in working with clients in ‘the second half of our lives’.

​

‘Whether in a group setting or one-to-one, it is so rewarding to see how smart, mindful movement can improve dramatically how we feel, our strength, mobility and balance. And to feel more confident and get a very real sense of well-being through movement and breathing’.

​

Apart from Pilates, Jaconel likes practising yoga, tai chi, meditation, and loves cooking, singing, walking and travelling.

​

Her movement sessions can be adapted to each and every one of us in different stages of our life. Whether fit, flexible and injury-free, or suffering from back aches or other special considerations, we can all benefit from having a regular movement practice.
