Ginny Tschirhart, originally from Atlanta Georgia, completed her Classical Pilates Certification through Real Pilates in New York City. She started her comprehensive Pilates training while she was a Modern Dance major at Texas Christian University where movement patterns, bone structure and fascia were explored and studied together. Through studies with the Center for Mind-Body Medicine and Dan Leven Institute, she brings in the knowledge of the nervous system, trauma and the emotional body to create a safe place for her clients. She strives to meet clients where they are, hoping to help her clients find deep and new ways to connect to their bodies. She hopes her clients find joy in the challenge of Pilates and the freedom that comes from a strong body.

My passion for Pilates all began on the hardwood floor of a youthful ballet class, followed by years of modern dance. I believe it was the rigorous training and focus on precision and technique that gave me the foundation in movement and posture that has helped me become the kind of fitness trainer, I am today. In 2015, and while living in Harrismith, South Africa, I discovered Pilates classes and was hooked, I became a Certified Pilates Trainer that next year, eventually opening my first Pilates studio in Harrismith and now here in beautiful New Braunfels. It is a part of my daily lifestyle and a compliment to my body being a mother of 3 beautiful children Tristan, Tamzyn and Kaylin. Pilates has become my go to fitness routine that marries nicely with my other fitness methods and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

I was born and raised in New Jersey.
I moved to Texas with my best friend. I've never really enjoyed fitness until I started Pilates.
I fell in love with Pilates after my first class, thought about becoming a instructor for about a year and then finally went for it. I am doing my certificating with Balance Body.

Friends are golden. One day a friend suggested we pop into a Pilates studio and see what all the fuss was about. As a lifelong yoga practitioner I was looking for an exercise that could help me develop more core strength (I wanted to hold a handstand longer than a few seconds) so I agreed. Within the moment of getting on and off the Pilates reformer I knew it was for me.
Over the next few months of doing Pilates, my handstand was not the only thing that improved! The reward of consistent practice with skillful teachers increased my strength and opened up a mind-body connection that has transformed my life. Not only do I walk taller in life due to better posture, I’ve found encouragement and confidence from practicing with long lasting Pilates friends. It’s fun to do an exercise that doesn’t hurt the body but heals it, like a good friend.

After living in the Pacific Northwest for many years, this native Texan is happy to be home. When Anja is not on the Pilates mat or reformer, you can find her on her rollerskates, maybe taking a Water Zumba class, or practicing her Spanish language skills.
