Kelly
Kelly became a certified Level 5 Romana’s Pilates teacher in August 2017 after training for nearly two years with at Pilates of West County in St. Louis. Throughout her apprenticeship she also trained with teachers in Chicago, Ft. Lauderdale, and New York City, working with master teachers and on some of Joseph Pilates’ original equipment! Romana’s Pilates develops instructors using techniques and knowledge that is as close to the original teaching as is available anywhere in the world. Kelly is excited to bring that knowledge to her Edwardsville community.
