Academy Pilates

Pilates Instructor: Kate Millen

Kate and her son have been training with Master Rebollar since the academy opened in 2009.   Martial arts training offered Kate the opportunity to expand her extensive physical fitness background, learn self-defense, and to share in an activity with her young son.  

 

Among many other benefits, Pilates training develops abdominal strength and improves alignment, both of which give martial artists and other athletes power in their sport.  The academy is pleased to offer this intensive core training opportunity to it's members and the general public. Kate's credentials are exceptional, and we are honored to have a Pilates instructor of her caliber as part of our community.

Experience and Credentials

 

Kate has been committed to health and fitness as both a fitness instructor and student for more eighteen years. She has many western certifications including Pilates, yoga, fitness instruction, personal training, nutrition, and a B.S. in chemistry.  Kate was a member of the Center for Integrated Yoga Therapeutics (CIYT) practicing yoga therapy, and taught restorative yoga to oncology patients at Emerson Hospital. Upon joining the Elemental Yoga 500-hour Teacher Training Program in 2007,  Kate turned the focus of her own practice to the Elemental Yoga alignment-based style of slow vinyasa that systematically heals the mind and body. With an emphasis on alignment, transitions, and mindfulness, she has been able to heal injuries and imbalances in her own body and mind; these personal experiences have been instrumental in framing her teaching in both group and private settings. Kate's passion is to empower people with the ability to heal themselves through yoga.
