Intentional movement for all

Welcome! I'm Katia Valladares, a Comprehensive Pilates instructor passionate about movement and community. I love helping people find themselves through intentional movement, find the strength within them and connect with others and themselves. I grew up enjoying movement through dance, originally from Honduras and now based in Utah. I combine extensive Pilates training with an intentional approach to movement that adapts to your body and your needs.

I found Pilates in my post-partum journey in 2022, where I was needing to find myself. Pilates was the perfect answer for my body and soul. I loved the intentional movements, the focus on breath and the mind-body connection aspect of it.

Early 2024 I started my Pilates instructor journey. I have dedicated myself to an extensive Pilates training through these years, getting trained under STOTT Pilates comprehensively through all apparatus. I've dedicated hundreds of hours learning to teach the Pilates method through Mat, Reformer, Advanced Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrels, specializing in Injuries and Special Populations through the same method. I have also valued continued education through Pilates workshops and continue learning at the moment. I have additional Mat Pilates training under the Hot Mat Pilates approach that combines Sculpt and Matwork to create a fusion that is challenging and has strength based elements.
