MÒNICA FONTSECA

Mònica began her journey with the Pilates Method in 2003 through Pilates Institute and has been practicing Kundalini Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga since 2002.

Her passion for the method emerged in 2004 when she used it to rehabilitate from a life-changing injury.

That same year, she traveled to Miami, where she was introduced to Polestar Pilates by Brent Anderson and his team.

After training with Jorge Álvarez Education (Vienna) and specializing in Pilates and Rehabilitation, Mònica opened her first studio in 2006. Since then, she has been the CEO of Pilates & Co., a studio that also serves as the Official Headquarters of Polestar Pilates, where Polestar students can complete their practice hours and continue their education.

In 2010, she became certified with Polestar Pilates, and since 2012, she has been part of their teaching team, training over 100 professionals. In 2015, she began collaborating as a Polestar educator in Mat Pilates seminars and comprehensive courses.

Currently, as of 2021, Mònica continues as a Senior Educator for Polestar Pilates, specializing in Mat Pilates and Comprehensive Mat and Equipment courses.

Since 2013, she has been managing a YouTube channel where she shares her vision of movement with Pilates & Co.

In 2008, she expanded her training in Gyrokinesis® and Gyrotonic®. Since 2017, she has been offering professional training in Gyrokinesis® and Gyrotonic®. She is also a Pre-Trainer for Gyrokinesis® and Gyrotonic® Level 1, and Pilates & Co. has become a reference center for professional courses in the Gyrotonic® Expansion System.

Mònica is also an Osteopath and continues to pursue further education in Neuro Mechanics (IKNeurology) and Osteopathy, driven by her passion for the human body and its ability to express and heal.
