Susanne Gijsbers

Master teacher
BASI Pilates faculty
Susanne Gijsbers has been teaching Pilates since 2010, and is now a BASI Pilates teacher trainer! She helped establish Pregnancy Pilates at The Movement Practice, the first of its kind in Amsterdam in 2011. It was her Pilates experience during the pregnancy of her second son that inspired her to go deeper into the Pilates field. Intensive study with Yolande Green of Pregnancy Pilates and mat education with Debbie Jenner were her first certifications. In addition she holds comprehensive teacher certifications in Pilates mat and equipment with Smartbody and BASI, and a certification in Essentrics.

Her goal as a Pilates teacher is to pass on her enthusiasm for how Pilates makes you energised, strong and flexible, resulting in many ‘feel-good moments’!

Noha Ramadan

Senior teacher

Noha Ramadan is a choreographer, dance educator and pilates instructor. She has been training at TMP since 2015, and holds a certification in mat and comprehensive global Pilates from BASI.

Her dedication to pilates began after an injury, and led her to find a new relationship to many techniques she experienced as a professional dancer over the last 20 years including release technique, ideokinesis, and body-mind centering. Pilates helps her to feel grounded and connected in all areas of life, and to keep moving with a deeper sense of intention.

Her goal as a pilates instructor is to support access for all bodies, and especially those often marginalised. She encourages BIPOC, queer/non-binary and transgender people to her classes. All are welcome.
