Kaethe Birkner

Kaethe is a professional ballet dancer and is certified in Pilates through Balanced Body. She has been teaching ballet, Pilates and stretching group classes for ten years and personal training for eight years.

Katelthe's love of ballet came first, when she was only two years old with her love of Pilates followed while she was still a ballet student.   

Having personally suffered a number of injuries and spending many hours in physical therapy over the years, she also incorporates her knowledge of physical therapy and Pilates into her teaching style.  Her specialties include a focus on proper technique, injury prevention, and alignment.  Every class is built around the people in her class and their individual and group needs. She believes individual corrections are key to making sure each student gets the most out of every workout and every exercise. In addition, when ok the student, she uses hands-on corrections to help them learn how to engage not only the big muscles of their bodies but also the little, harder to activate muscles. 

Kaethe's teaching goals are to provide her students with a fun class and full-body workouts that focus n proper technique, alignment and injury prevention.
