Could not be more excited to make this Q&A live today because it happens to feature one of my best friends!

I am so excited for Katie and her new Pilates career.

Katie is our very own Tulsa girl with an infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm for the perfect Pilates move.

She discovered Reformer Pilates months ago while accompanying me for a class and it very quickly it became a passion. The principles of Pilates, the concentration and coordination came for naturally for her and she loved Pilates so much she decided to become a Pilates Instructor!

As a teacher, Katie says that she will strive to motivate her clients to exceed their own expectations and she enjoys seeing the effects Pilates has on the body and the mind.

If you do Pilates at The Club Pilates South Tulsa location, you’ll often see her observing lessons and practicing Pilates moves on the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair and Ladder Barrel.

She is a travel loving vegetarian who loves fitness and genuinely loves helping people! She is also a loving mother and a very loving loyal friend!

Quick Q & A with Katie

-What inspired you to become a Pilates teacher?

I am a caregiver by nature. I find a great deal of my happiness is in the health I can bring to others.

-What are you going to love most about teaching?

Helping the community. Whether it is our seniors, middle age adults, and young adults. Bringing more health to our community is so important.

-What does your practice mean to you?

My Pilates practice is about acceptance and patience.

-How has your practice changed your outlook on life?

I have worked in healthcare for 4 years and I have learned the most vital thing you can do to help yourself is to make sure there is time to take care of you.

-What do you like to do when you’re not in the studio?

I am a mother to a beautiful 12 year old little lady. We love anything outdoors. If there is a body of water close to us- that is where you will find us. We are both water babies! I love traveling when I can with my friends and boyfriend too. I also love modeling and work on various photo shoots too.

-If you could only do one Pilates exercise, what would it be?

Bridging! I could probably make up a whole class just on bridging series.
