Amy Kotch

I have been a student of Core Pilates for the past 3 years. Inspired by the teachings and the environment, I began my training in Stott® Pilates mat and reformer in July, 2010.

I graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 1997 with a degree in pre-physical therapy and athletic training/sports medicine and years later returned to the University to pursue a MBA, graduating in 2009.

In July 2010, I took a leap and changed career paths from a national sales role into pursue teaching Pilates and yoga and to focus on my venture consulting business, A Leap Venture. My Yoga Training was done at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara in August, 2010. I also completed my YogaCalm® Certification in July  2010, and enjoy teaching children.

I believe the single most important thing we can do for ourselves is to create awareness in how our breath aligns and unites our mind and body. Pilates and yoga allow us to practice and master this essential life skill.
