COLUMBIA - Barre Progression


This class is taught by:

Yara Brown

Yara’s journey to become a Pilates instructor was driven by a desire to share the transformative power of movement. Drawing from her dance experience, she prioritizes precision, grace, and discipline in her teaching. Her approach is to empower clients, whether beginners or experienced enthusiasts, to discover their inner strength, improve flexibility, and cultivate a balanced, functional body. She is always excited to make new connections with those she works with and uncover their limitless potential!

Kelly McDonald

Kelly was first introduced to Pilates as a teenager through her classical ballet training. Years later, after starting her family, she rediscovered her love for the practice and experienced firsthand how Pilates could heal, strengthen, and restore the body. Inspired by the transformative impact it had on her own life, she felt called to share the method with others.

Kelly is certified through The Lab and is currently completing her bridge to become fully certified with Balanced Body. Her teaching style blends a deep understanding of movement with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach.

When she's not in the studio, Kelly is usually on the move—chasing after her three kids, two dogs, and enjoying the beautiful chaos of family life with her husband.

This class is held at the COLUMBIA Studio.
