| About Kris |
 Kris’s interest in Pilates was sparked in the spring of 2002 after taking several classes in Sacramento, California. Though she had been practicing various forms of dance and yoga since her youth, through Pilates she gained strength, stability, and a better understanding of her body. From Sacramento, Kris moved to the Bay Area in California where she began training intensively with Ellie Herman Studios in San Francisco and discovered a passion for teaching. She completed her teacher certification in April 2006 and became an instructor for Ellie Herman Studios teaching all levels of group classes and working privately with clients including those recovering from injuries or experiencing pain, athletes looking to enhance their performance, and pre and post natal women. She continues to develop her repertoire by attending various workshops and trainings, including rehabilitation trainings.
In addition to being a Certified Pilates Instructor, Kris holds a master’s degree in social work from Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Her emphasis was on social and economic development with a specialization in business and she completed her degree while studying and working in Nepal. Before beginning her teaching career as a Pilates instructor she worked for a small business development firm helping low to moderate income people start their own businesses.
