Katie has had an ever evolving twenty five-year career as a movement and Pilates teacher and is certified through NPCP. She came to Pilates as a professional dancer in Philadelphia and continued her training here in Rhode Island. During the pandemic she was able to deepen her knowledge by taking live dissection workshops with a focus on the body’s connectivity. Her dance background has highly informed her Pilates teaching particularly within ideas of imagery, rhythm, breath, direction, balance and overall the joy of movement. In the fall Katie will start a certification process through the Franklin Method which teaches science based strategies of functional movement. Katie also teaches yoga and dance technique and has taught dance composition and theory. She holds a BA in Dance and Anthropology from Connecticut College and an MFA in Dance Performance from University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
