About the founder

Instructor: Katelyn Silverwatch

Katelyn grew up a trained ballet dancer from Connecticut starting Pilates at the young age of 15. She made her way to NYC attending Marymount Manhattan College where she received her BA in Dance and minor in Biology in 2014.

Knowing she wanted to continue to work in the world of body, science, and motion she went on to work as a trainer in a Physical therapy clinic for a few years. While there she trained next to top physical therapists and was introduced to the world of Pilates Rehab. It was then she knew she wanted to get her Pilates certification to help heal those around her!

Katelyn received her Comprehensive Pilates Certification through Polestar Pilates in 2018. She has continued her education with receiving her pre and post-natal certification going on to teach reformer and mat group classes and privates in NYC..

During the 2020 pandemic, she was inspired to create her own studio within her apartment. This "Silver Lining" during such a tragic time for NY, has helped follow her passion of helping students find the best versions of themselves, making every session an inner and outer body experience.
