Caitlin Cook
|
Caitlin Cook began practicing Pilates in 1988 as a dance major at SUNY Purchase College. In 1993 she moved to the Bay Area to continue dancing and was certified to teach Pilates in 1994 by Madeline Black (Eve Gentry lineage). In 1996 Caitlin moved to NYC where she danced for many choreographers, collaborated with artists of all kinds, played in and created bands and had the honour of presenting her own choreographies in many wonderful venues. Teaching Pilates during this time gave Caitlin consistant work and a deep rooted sense of purpose while enjoying artistic successes in the less lucrative art world of NYC. She was so fortunate to work alongside some amazing Romana Kryzanowska trained Pilates teachers. Phoebe Higgins, Peter Roel, Susan Moran were her first mentors at Howard Sichel Chiropractic in mid town Manhattan. Then she moved to re:AB and was taken under the wings of Brooke Siler and Alycea Ungaro. From there Caitlin moved to live in Park Slope, Brooklyn where she had the pleasure of working at Body-Tonic Pilates Gymnasium with Jennifer Deluca. As her teaching style further developed, she had the honor of creating, with Jen, a comprehensive certification program that addressed both the Eve Gentry and the Romana Kryzanowska Pilates teaching styles. Caitlin worked at Body-Tonic for 8 years until she moved to Martha’s Vineyard in 2008. On the Vineyard she has taught tailored private in home sessions, and has enjoyed teaching at Vineyard Pilates, alongside Stephan Knight and at Evolve with Laura Alexander. In addition Caitlin has had the honor of teaching ballet, contemporary and acrobatic dance and is a certified Zero Balancer.
