Announcing the brand new Pilates by Kahley Youth Scholarship!
Hi Reader
“Through Pilates, a balanced body, mind, and spirit can be attained. Self-confidence follows.” – Joseph Pilates
I’m excited to announce the first annual Pilates by Kahley Youth Scholarship! Available to anyone between the ages of 14 and 18, this annual scholarship will provide the recipient with two private sessions with me, as well as unlimited reformer classes for one full year.
“I am a multi sport athlete. I play soccer, basketball, and run track. My training at Pilates by Kahley has helped me become faster, stronger, and avoid injury in those sports. Coach Kahley is the GOAT!!”
– Jake Henry
Exercise has been proven to help teenagers release excess energy, decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve self-confidence and self-esteem, and boost mental health. When it comes to Pilates specifically, studies show that a regular practice has benefits for both physical and mental health, including:
- better posture and flexibility
- increased muscle tone
- improved heart function
- injury prevention
- stress reduction
I’ve experienced many of these benefits first-hand. While I was waiting for a liver transplant, Pilates breathing helped me to relax, and after my surgery, I used my practice to rehabilitate my body and push through the pain both physically and mentally.
I’m a living example that no matter what challenge you face, Pilates can help – and this scholarship is about helping a young person create a foundation health habits and mental resilience as they get ready for adulthood.
“Kahley is amazing! She personalized Ella’s workout sessions to target her goals for dance. We saw an improvement in overall strength and flexibility for jumps and leaps. Also, her core stability improved which helped her balance and overall body awareness for muscle control. Kahley took the time to watch Ella’s dance performances and customized a workout to help her performance technique and stamina. Kahley is extremely skilled in her training and was also deeply committed to helping Ella achieve her personal fitness goals.”
– Patti Whitehair

Kahley

Hi Reader A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to reunite with my teacher and Pilates legacy, Lolita San Miguel. I took workshops from Lolita who is still teaching and going strong at the age of 90 and from the brilliant Pilates teacher, Shelly Power. I'm thrilled to share my experience with all of you!

Hi Reader Happy Thanksgiving! As we head into the holiday season, I’ve been reflecting on how thankful I am for the Pilates by Kahley community.
