Jailan is currently completing her Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training through D-Lates Academy of Movement™ as she works toward earning her Comprehensive Pilates Certification.

Her connection to Pilates began long before she became an instructor. Jailan took her first Pilates class with Dima when she was just 16 years old, long before the opening of Dima-Lates®. Since then, movement has remained an important part of her life. After more than 10 years of weight training, her fitness goals began to evolve, and Pilates became a welcome addition, allowing her to develop a deeper connection between her body, movement, and overall well-being.

Jailan’s passion for Pilates was also inspired by her family, many of whom have been longtime clients of Dima. Watching her mother experience meaningful improvements in her posture, strength, and mobility made Pilates especially personal to her. Jailan hopes to help others discover a form of movement they enjoy while experiencing the same positive benefits she has witnessed within her own family.

With a corporate background in the software technology industry, Jailan brings strong communication, training, and client-education skills to her Pilates teaching. Her experience guiding clients through new technologies has translated naturally into helping clients understand movement and feel confident during their Pilates sessions. Her fitness background has also made learning the Pilates repertoire and various apparatus both exciting and rewarding, reconnecting her with her longtime curiosity about biomechanics and passion for the science of the human body.

Outside the studio, Jailan is highly creative and always exploring a new hobby. She is currently teaching herself embroidery and is already skilled in crochet and knitting. You may even find her working on her latest project between classes, so don’t hesitate to ask her what she is creating!
