Leah Chaback Katz

Leah Chaback Katz embraced Pilates in 1987 while attending Purchase College. She began an intensive apprenticeship with master teacher Romana Kryzanowska in 1989 and was invited by her to assist in teaching some of the first Pilates teacher trainings in New York City with the Pilates Guild. Leah has shared her love of movement and bodywork with hundreds of students over the years, and has helped train and certify many teachers in New York City and beyond. Her knowledge of Iyengar yoga, anatomy and the human body make her a trusted teacher who creates an environment that promotes and enhances health and healing. Leah is owner and director of The Movement Center, a Pilates studio she established in Kingston, New York in 1990, and she is a Visiting Assistant Professor in Bard College's Dance Department, where she teaches Pilates.
