Tasha Norman Jacobs is the founder of Tendu Magazine, Fitengine.com and NYC Dance Week.org and proud to be a co-owner of LifeSpan Pilates.

Tasha is a former gymnast, coach, athlete and dancer with an expertise in fitness and conditioning. Her clients appreciate her depth of skills, knowledge, and compassionate approach to fitness and skills development.

With over 15 years teaching experience in fitness and dance and multiple certifications in Pilates, Bio-Mechanics and Anatomy, Tasha continues her teaching journey at LifeSpan where she teaches Pilates, Stretch/Flexibility/Mobility and substitutes as a coach for Gymnastics.

Tasha trained at Dragos starting in the late 90’s and was fortunate to be taught by Joseph Pilates’ protege Romana Kryzanowska and master trainers at the NYC studio.

“I was the probably one of the longest Pilates apprentices trainees, ever. At the time, was no such thing as work-life balance (LOL). I used vacation/sick days and weekends to train. But I was dedicated."

With a career spanning diverse realms, from Media and Advertising to Fitness, Pilates and Real Estate, my professional journey mirrors a tapestry woven with innovation, strategic vision, and relentless pursuit of growth. As co-owner of Lifespan Pilates in NYC, “I unite my entrepreneurial flair with a passion for wellness.”

Our goal is to strengthen and grow the Romana’s Pilates community and offer a welcoming space for all involved and to continue the Romana’s Pilates legacy.
