About Evan
If you allow your heart, mind, and body to work together— you fall in love with yourself and your life!
Imagine looking like this…and feeling terrible inside.
This is me between the ages of 23 and 36. I was a professional model, actor and stuntwoman. I worked out everyday, but I never told my self “Thank You”. I was so busy trying to look a certain way, I forgot who I was, or what was important to me.
At Jack and Jill Pilates we offer both reformer and reformer/tower classes 7 days a week! We can train the brain to lift the body, creating great posture as well as a strong core. We also offer private sessions and duets—come find out what the fuss is about!
Evan ONeill is a certified instructor on all Pilates apparatus as well as Mat. She has been teaching for several years in NY, NJ, LA, and now the San Francisco Bay area. A professional actor, dancer, and stuntwoman for many years, Evan was soon in constant pain due to the damage sustained during her physically demanding work.
After years of strenuous pull on her body, Evan hurt all over…until she discovered Pilates. She immediately connected with this form of exercise, and began to heal herself from the inside out. Pilates not only gave Evan her physical life back, but helped her regain her love of movement in all forms.
Evan focuses on health-oriented, high-energy, hands-on tutelage. Exercise should extend life and be enjoyable: Pilates incorporates this concept by working towards flexibility and strength; stamina in conjunction with control; and breathing through all movement.
Sessions are tailored to each individual client: everyone is different, as are their abilities in movement and connection. Evan’s desire is to draw attention back to the original design around fitness; to bring the body and mind back to a place of functionality and efficiency that gets stronger with age and knowledge. Pilates is the elixir of youth—you can reverse the effects of age and gravity on the body. It is not easy, and it takes time and practice, but it can change your life like it did for Joseph Pilates, Evan ONeill, and thousands of others!
