Hello I'm Kayleigh, and I am a movement educator and professional classical musician. I help people move better so they can be the best version of themselves in all aspects of their lives. Drawing from the Pilates method, yoga asana, strength training, and more, I help people to strengthen, challenge, and integrate mind, breath, and body. Although music and movement may seem like disparate modalities, I've found them to be extremely complementary, and I'm constantly learning to become a better, more embodied musician. I'm passionate about creating connection, using music and movement as means to connect people with the human experience, and reconnect people to their own bodies and internal experiences. As a performer, I play with the Pacific Northwest Ballet and regularly sub with Seattle Opera and the Seattle Symphony, and I previously was a member of the San Antonio Symphony and the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra. I’ve additionally played with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Oregon Symphony, the New World Symphony, and the Britt Festival Orchestra. As a movement educator, I teach a hybrid of pilates, strength, and mobility work out of my small studio in Phinney Ridge. If you’re interested in working with me, go here.
