Layne Kim
Through the uncertainty, she abruptly changed her major in her third year at TWU. Ann was constantly searching for a new path that would allow her to help others passionately. With the pandemic pushing for a stay-at-home lifestyle, Ann began home workouts and swapping her diet for healthier options. She found confidence and enjoyment in seeing a change within herself both mentally and physically. Through the coincidence of a recommendation from her family and friends, Ann discovered Pilates. For Ann, Pilates acted as a guide to her undecided post-graduate life. With her many live training sessions, she realized Pilates not only improves one’s physical appearance but also develops and strengthens their life. Gaining knowledge of how the human body functions and the effects of each exercise deepened her passion. She always struggled to help and comfort others through words, but Pilates allowed her to express her love and efforts naturally.

She began teaching contemporary Pilates in Korea in 2017. Her passion for Pilates deepened after discovering classical Pilates, where she became fascinated by its ability to enhance true body control and strength. She believes that Pilates is a path to a more fulfilling and satisfying physical existence. Being in control of the body, she feels, leads to greater control in life. She is excited to offer lessons that promote a healthy body, mind, and overall well-being.
