Cathryn

Cathryn Costello Goerger trained in classical ballet at Pacific Northwest Ballet and Cornish Preparatory in Seattle, WA, where she also studied modern dance for 9 years. In 1993 she was introduced to Pilates after sustaining a dance injury and continued to supplement her dance training with Pilates classes. In 1997 she received her B.F.A. in dance from Cornish College of the Arts and moved to New York City to pursue a professional dance career. In 2009 Cathryn earned her Pilates Mat and Equipment certification through the Kane School of Core Integration in NYC.

Continuing education is one of The Pilates House’s core values and Cathryn attends 2-3 trainings each year, which exceeds the minimum number of continuing education credits required to maintain her certification through the Kane School. Although Cathryn was raised in Seattle and lived in New York City for 12 years, her maternal family is from Wyndmere, ND.

Cathryn Costello studied classical Pilates choreography with an emphasis on correct biomechanics, injury prevention and rehabilitation. She has over 600 hours of Pilates training and 13 years of experience teaching Pilates to athletes, dancers, farmers, office workers, parents and individuals with limited movement capability. Cathryn’s specialty is introducing Pilates and yoga principles to those with no previous experience. She is a firm believer that everyone and anyone can benefit from movement!
