At Kat Pilates, we teach the exact exercises which were passed on from Joseph Pilates to his protégé, Romana Kryzanowska. All instructors at Kat Pilates are trained in the Romana’s Pilates® Method and have completed all of the requirements of its comprehensive certification program.

“I wish I had met Kathleen years ago. She has made significant improvement in my posture. core strength, and flexibility over just 6 months. Kathleen has a passion for what she does, and she teaches with patience, discipline and encouragement every step of the way.”
“I was lucky to be able to take individual Pilates lessons from Kathleen Snyder when she was teaching in Boston. She’s a fantastic teacher—very supportive but pushes people to work hard and progress. Very focused. My posture improved dramatically. It was heartbreaking to have her leave Boston, but South Carolina is luckier for it. I highly recommend her Pilates instruction”
