Joan Breibart

JOAN BREIBART is a Pilates instructor, inventor, and founder of the PhysicalMind Institute, which launched the first Pilates certification program and the first Pilates instructional video. Her books include Suckered Into Wellness, Body Biz and Standing Pilates.

Breibart holds a degree from Barnard College (Class of 1963) and multiple patents for fitness products, among them the Mini-Reformer, Mve Chair, Parasetter, HeadFloater, SmartSEAT, and the Tye4 wearable reformer.

When not writing, Breibart draws on careers spanning ten years in publishing and twenty years in the beauty and hair business. That practical grounding in body-focused commerce shapes her approach to Pilates education and product development.

Joan Breibart’s books are published by Trade Paper Press, an imprint of Turner Publishing.
