Teaching team

Genevieve hower

Genevieve started doing Pilates in 2008 to close diastasis rectii that had developed during her second pregnancy. Pilates worked and Genevieve loved how strong Pilates made her feel.

She is a graduate of Kathi Ross-Nash’s Red Threat Post Professional Advanced Teacher Training Program , and has completed continuing education though Anatomy Trains and with numerous teachers, including Blossom Leilani Crawford, Dana Santi, Brett Howard, Karen Frischmann, Chris Robinson, and Katie Yip. In 2025, she deepened her Pilates teaching even further by becoming a Teacher Trainer for Power Pilates.

Genevieve’s teaching is informed by her belief that Pilates is for everyone and every body, regardless of age, injury, or prior experience.

A Pittsburgh native, Genevieve lives in the East End with her husband, three kids, and three cats. She she enjoys running (16 marathons and counting!), knitting, and baking.

Lynn was first introduced to Pilates in 1991, while in the professional program at The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.  She pursued Pilates teacher training in 1998 in the intense 600 hours of training under Romana Kryzanowska , a master teacher trained by Joseph Pilates, and completed her training in December 1999.
