about Kiran
Kiran is an innovative and meticulous comprehensively-trained Pilates equipment and yoga expert who is passionate about the transformative power of mindful movement. Drawing from her nuanced understanding of human anatomy and the principles of Pilates, Kiran customizes effective, results-oriented workouts for her clients.
Kiran views her athletic approach to Pilates as the ultimate age-defying multivitamin. Accordingly, sessions are precisely designed as a blend of mindful movement and personal training to encourage both physical and mental vitality. Through consistent practice, clients can expect to reshape their bodies, fine-tuning problem areas and sculpting long, lean muscles while simultaneously preventing and rehabilitating injuries.
