Mag.^a Radka Westerkamp

More than two decades of experience as a movement specialist have enabled me to develop a personal and unconventional teaching approach that is individually tailored to each body type and age.

After my artistic career as a dancer, I studied dance education for classical dance at HAMU in Prague and graduated with a Master of Arts degree. Inspired by the topic of my master’s thesis, “Pilates for Dancers,” I became a certified Pilates trainer and Pilates Master Trainer for Balanced Body^® USA.

I have also expanded my knowledge through courses in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) (www.rehabps.com), which complement Pilates perfectly. Also, since 2018, I have been a certified Yamuna^® Body Rolling and Yamuna^® Foot Fitness Practitioner.

Currently, I am studying the Balanced Body^® Advanced Movement Principles program, which is exclusively available to long-standing master instructors such as myself. To stay abreast of latest methodology developments, I enjoy regular contact with international experts and teams.

For many years, the focus of my work has been on establishing and managing the Pilates training institute Balanced Body Vienna. This focus includes endeavours in my private studio, 1040 Yoga & Pilates, where I work with people of all ages and infirmities and provide instruction in German, English, Czech, and French (www.1040yogaundpilates.com).

I am a member of the Pilates Association Austria.
