About

 Alexandra Aebischer

While I was living in the USA and studying international relations, sports disciplines linking body and mind were in full boom. I began to take a close interest, and following a 2006 move to Canada, it was in Montreal that I became fascinated by the Pilates method, originally known as “Contrology”. I was immediately won over by its finesse and embodiment. In 2007, I obtained my initial Matwork instructor diploma from a Canadian contemporary Pilates school. The practice and learning of the Pilates method accompanied me through two pregnancies and numerous geographical relocations. Bolstered by experiencing the method in different cultures and by a wide variety of teacher education training in various schools (so-called “contemporary” Pilates, matwork and apparatus) between 2013 and 2015, as well as boosted by rewarding professional experiences, I decided to set up my own studio in Fribourg. In 2015, nestled between the cathedral and the Zaehringen bridge, the PILATES FRIBOURG studio became a reality. In 2017, after two years of positive encounters in centrally-located Bourg district, the studio moved its activities to the peaceful Petit-Schönberg neighborhood.
