IB Pilates® Education
offers an exceptional Pilates instructor education program. The IB Pilates® Instructor program provides a comprehensive approach to the original exercise method - Contrology - developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's and integrates the essence of the original movements with current concepts in movement science and instruction.
Our philosophy is guided by a focus on integrating the art and science of developing the body, mind and spirit through healthy movement. The intention of IB Pilates® Education is to develop instructors who are able to think critically, observe, and facilitate healthy movement.
We are committed to providing our instructors with knowledge of the Pilates movements as well as how to assess and teach individuals of varying backgrounds and movement abilities.
IB PILATES® TEAM

Kristen Veltkamp
MS, PT, NCPI
IB Pilates® Program Founder
It has been my privilege to study human movement over the past 25 years and it is one of my greatest passions to teach others more about their bodies and to help those who are interested, become teachers of movement themselves. During my course of study in Physical Therapy, I was introduced to the Pilates Method as a result of my own injury. I continued to pursue a better understanding of what an intelligent form of movement this was and how it can be used along the wellness spectrum from the client needing rehabilitation fo the elite mover.
In addition to the ongoing development of the IB Pilates® Education program, I serve as a consultant providing Physical Therapy & Movement Instruction at several studio locations, including Coredination in Brecksville, OH, Absolutely Pilates and the Spot in Bowling Green, KY and Core Pilates in Louisville, KY.
