Kyleigh began practicing Pilates in 2011 after graduating from Hobart and William Smith Colleges. From HWS, she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree, with Cum Laude recognition, in Media & Society. The mind-body connection associated with the Pilates method resonated with Kyleigh and inspired her to make the commitment to the Teacher Education Program at Pilates Plus. Kyleigh received her Levels I-III Certification in the summer of 2012 and continues her training for Levels IV and V Certification. Kyleigh’s “Aha Moment” occurred when she understood the significance of relying on her “powerhouse” both inside and outside of the studio. Kyleigh has overcome life- long postural challenges through pilates practice and is a believer in Joseph Pilates premise that “ in ten sessions you feel better, in 20 sessions you will look better and in 30 sessions you will have a completely new body.” Kyleigh loves seeing how Pilates brings her clients joy as they gain awareness of their bodies and experience the grace, energy and vitality that is transformative through pilates practice.
