Based in New York City, The Kane School has trained hundreds of Pilates
instructors and its disciples can be found throughout the United States and
worldwide. The Kane School offers a rigorous training program to provide teachers
knowledge of the underlying principles of Pilates rather than just the
choreography or exercises.

The teacher training is based on the classical repertoire infused with a modern,
clinical understanding to explain why the exercises work to strengthen and stabilize.
This anatomy-based approach is rare and distinguishes the Kane School from
otherPilates training programs.

Accordingly, the students sharpen their manual perception skills through practicing
their sense of touch and learning how to “listen” with their hands. They also become
versed in common diagnoses as well as varied conditions such as disk
herniations, osteoporosis and pregnancy.

About Kelly Kane, Founder of the Kane School of Core Integration:

Kelly Kane, founder of the Kane School of Core Integration, has trained Pilates
teachers and taught privately for more than a decade. She studied with Romana
Kryzanowska, one of the few living disciples of Joseph Pilates, and Hila Paldi,
another Romana-trained professional, and she obtained her certification through
the Pilates Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Kelly completed two years of the
BodyMind Centering teacher-training program and received her massage
certification at the Florida School of Massage. Her manual therapy repertoire
includes Structural Integration, CranioSacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation,
and she cultivated her exceptional manual perception skills through three years of
human cadaver dissection at the New Jersey School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Since 1993, Kelly has studied Iyengar yoga as well as anatomy and postural
assessment with dance and neuro-muscular movement specialist Irene Dowd, and
her expertise also includes Gyrotonic® and Continuum Movement. Seeking to
incorporate an understanding of the human body into the classical Pilates genre,
Kelly opened the Kane School in 1999 as a holistic body college founded on
anatomical knowledge to improve strength and stability. Whether through classes
and private sessions or through the teacher training program, Kelly’s signature can
be found in the school’s singular emphasis on biomechanics and manual touch
skills. Kelly, an accomplished athlete and snowboarder, teaches core integration
workshops around the country and in the UK.
