Galina Rohleder
Galina Rohleder has been teaching classical Pilates for over 20 years. In the early 1990s she moved to New York City, where she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts and worked for numerous modern dance companies and musical shows. During a one-year stay in Asia she studied Chinese dance, Tai-Chi and choreography. As a trained dancer she has worked for the Theater des Westens, among others.
Ms Rohleder first discovered Pilates during her time in New York. While in the original New York City studio, she had the good fortune and privilege to meet Romana Kryzanowska and to personally learn from her for many years. Ms Rohleder completed her training with Romana, making her a “second generation teacher” and was honored to be awarded the original certificate as a trainer of the “Pilates Method of Body Conditioning”.
In 1998 she moved from New York back to Berlin where she started Berlin´s first Pilates studio. She has worked as a Pilates trainer for the Staatstheater Kassel and the Tanztheater of the German National Theater Weimar, to name but a few. After 10 years of teaching in Germany, in 2008 she took a yearlong maternity leave. To this day, Ms Rohleder teaches at her studio along with various companies and institutions such as SAP and the Tanzfabrik Potsdam. Additionally, she continues to expand her knowledge, including learning about other forms of bodywork, such as Feldenkrais, the Susan Klein Technique and general anatomy.
