Kris Kumfer
Owner, PMA Pilates Certified Teacher, 2nd Generation Teacher
I have had the opportunity to explore life through PIlates with many wonderful teachers. Marina Walchli, owner of the Body in Mind Studio (Athens, OH), has served as my mentor and colleague, offering me a strong foundation and passion for pilates. I was honored to be accepted as an independent study apprentice working directly with Romana Kryzanowska in NYC (Drago's Gym). I earned my comprehensive certification from the Pilates Guild in 1998.
I co-founded Pilates of Athens (Athens, OH) with Lizzie Kasler in 2005, a wonderful partnership which allowed me to continue to work with the Pilates community in Athens. With Pilates of Athens under new ownership, I founded West Side Pilates in 2009 to create a small, private setting to continue to offer quality pilates instruction for the Athens community.
1997-BFA Dance, Ohio University
2004- M.Ed Education, Higher Education Administration, Ohio University
