Kerry Mathern

Kerry is passionate about Pilates and loves sharing it with others. She has been

practicing and studying Pilates since 2015. Although engaged in many types of

exercise, Pilates has given her core strength, flexibility, agility, and most importantly, a

strong and healthy back.

She was first introduced to Pilates by her dear friend, Claire Frechette, a Stott Certified

instructor, and immediately fell in love with the work. In 2017/2018 she received her

classical training and certification with 2nd Generation Master teachers, Richard Rossiter

and Bonnie Grebe, of the Pilates Institute in Lafayette, Colorado. She later co-founded

Pilates4Bodies in Lafayette, Colorado.

Kerry has been training and studying with Shari Berkowitz of The Vertical Workshop

since 2019 when they first met. She participated in and completed The Vertical

Workshop Teacher Training Bridge Program in October 2022 and is a fully certified

Vertical Workshop Instructor. She continues working on the advanced work, attending

workshops nationally and internationally, and is devoted to deepening her knowledge

and understanding of the classical Pilates method with a strong biomechanical and

scientifically backed perspective to the exercises.

She holds a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in Human Biology from California State

University, Hayward.

Kerry believes that Pilates will change your life. Originally named Contrology by Joseph

Pilates, Pilates is an exercise method that not only works your body but also your mind;

it truly is a perfect balance of mind, body, and spirit. Pilates is a lifelong exercise

method, and dedication to the work will help one stay agile, flexible, and strong both

mentally and physically.

Kerry is a dedicated and caring teacher. She teaches with compassion and with

intellect. She’s excited to help her clients reach their fitness goals, transform their

bodies, and strengthen their minds through this incredible work.

When not practicing or teaching, Kerry enjoys hiking, baking, reading, listening to live

music, traveling, and spending time with her husband, Paul, son, Michael, daughter,

Emily, and German Shorthair Pointer, Auggie.
