Kate

Katherine (Kate) Kassouf Cummings is a Pilates instructor and movement educator. Katherine trained in the Pilates method under the instruction of Jennifer Golden at Pilates Chicago, where she also served as a studio instructor and assistant faculty for the Pilates Chicago Instructor Training Program from 2013–2020. She continues her movement education with Pilates experts Blossom Leilani Crawford, Carolyne Anthony, and Elizabeth Larkam.

Katherine believes in the intelligence of the body. Her goal as an instructor is to foster awareness and deepen connection within the body. Through her teaching, Katherine nurtures curiosity, compassion, and wonder for our unique ways of being in and moving through the world. 

When she’s not in the studio sharing her passion for movement, she can be found swimming in the lake, playing harp, tending her garden (and young olive tree), and writing and editing for a nonprofit.
