Kristen Abbott
With over 20 years experience as a dancer Kristen has a unique and
effective advantage to offer her clients through pilates instruction.
With an amazing eye and understanding of how the body moves, Kristen
does more than improve clients balance, flexibility, strength and
weight. She is able to work towards correcting poor posture,
neuromuscular imbalances and reduce pain patterns that can severely
impact peoples lives. Having studied Pilates' most recognized
accreditation through the physical mind institute 9 years ago, Kristen
has evolved into a master instructor teaching in Orlando, Australia and
now Indiana. 
2012 will mark another step for Kristen as she travel to Thailand for 6 weeks to become a Yoga instructor through a world class school. She will also become a Teacher trainer through Balanced Body university for Comprehensive Pilates certifications.
Kristen is always continuing to learn and evolve by
attending regular courses around the United States with some of Pilates
most well known figures. Reforming Indy was founded in 2007 by Kristen
and her husband Michael to teach pilates the way it was intended and
they have adhered to the strictest standards ever since. She is also a
strong believer in passing on her knowledge to her own instructors to
maximize the experience for every client of Reforming Indy.
