Ann Toran | Source | Owner at Pilates Reforming New York

Early in Ann's movement background, she was a ballet dancer trained at the School of American Ballet, American Ballet Theater and the High School of Performing Arts. Her professional dance career became the stimulus for Ann's becoming interested in health and wellness. Having suffered many injuries while performing professionally she learned a great deal about her body and this somewhat shaped the path Ann ultimately followed. Ann's husband Dr. Errol Toran, a Chiropractor, introduced her to Pilates. He was using this method in his own practice to strengthen his patients as part of treatment protocol. Ann immediately fell in love with the method and began furthering her own education.
