Who, What, Why Patina Pilates?
Joseph Pilates’ philosophy was Movement is Medicine, and in the 1920s designed a system of whole body movement to integrate body and spirit. Today, the Pilates Method is taught and practiced globally by the teachers he prepared and their many successors.
My Pilates practice began as a rehab effort in 2014. A decade of ICU nursing followed by 25 years at a computer or meeting table left me weak, tight and aching. After a few years of mat sessions at the gym I discovered that personalized instruction on classical studio apparatus led to deeper connections and improvements.
I began teacher training with Trey Fry, co-owner and Director of Education at KineticMKE studio. I completed Level 1 and 2 certifications in 2024. My clients have been as young as 87 years with experience ranging from Introductory to Intermediate practitioners in every stage of life and fitness. My journey demonstrates that with proper guidance, patience and perisistence it is always possible to recover and progress.
