Honoring Kathy Grant this Black History Month 🤎✨
A true pioneer in the world of Pilates, Kathy Grant was one of the first students personally certified by Joseph Pilates. She started off as a student when she was told she couldn’t dance again after an injury and became one of Joseph Pilates certified students and went on to shape generations of teachers through her decades of work at New York University. She even continued to dance again after Pilates!
She carried the original legacy of Pilates with brilliance, discipline, and deep care—while breaking barriers as a Black woman in the field. Her teaching wasn’t just about movement; it was about presence, precision, and power.
Because of Kathy Grant, the Pilates community is richer, stronger, and more inclusive 🤍
