    CO-FOUNDER PCI

    Hi there. I'm Keira, Co-Founder of PCI. I’m a dancer turned attorney turned Pilates advocate and here to help you create the Pilates career of your dreams.

    Perhaps you've landed here because your path might feel uncertain or uninspiring, and trust me, I've been there, too. Life can lead us down unexpected paths, sometimes revealing our true passions.

    I can certainly attest to that.

    For over a decade, I've been on a pilates journey that started with certification in 2009, and I've never stopped learning, practicing, and sharing my expertise since.

    I’ve dabbled in other professions, ultimately graduating from law school and earning my license as a California attorney. Still, I’ve found no greater fulfillment than when I share the gift of Pilates.

    If, like me, #movement is your first language and it's how you best connect with yourself and others, then a career in the Pilates industry may be for you. It's how I nurture those around me, contribute to my community, and find my flow. It nourishes me from the inside out.

    Personally, Pilates has taken me far beyond why I started. In 2017, my world changed when my dad had a life-changing stroke, unveiling Pilates' incredible potential for healing the mind, body, and soul after illness, injury, or trauma.

    Since then, I've been sharing this transformative method with as many people as possible. I've founded a studio and developed numerous educational programs for clients and teachers to spread the Pilates magic.

    But this journey isn't just about me; it's about empowering YOU. It's for those who seek more than just a job; it's for those who yearn to transform THEIR lives and those around them through movement, just as I did.

    So, here's my pledge: Let's connect and discover your unique path within the Pilates world. Let’s shape a future where you're not just a pilates instructor but a #mentor, guide, and source of inspiration.

    Not sure where to start? Reach out and let us help. Your dream Pilates career is waiting, and I can’t wait to meet you!

    CO-FOUNDER PCI

    Hello! I'm Casey Canino, co-founder of PCI, and I’m so glad you’re here.

    You’re here because you're serious about #Pilates. You’re searching for answers and need some guidance on where to start.

    You’ve landed in the right place. I’m here to help.

    A relentless pursuit of answers drove my path into Pilates. I started in dance and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, but nothing clicked until Pilates entered the scene. It wasn't just another fitness trend; it was a game-changer. It gave me the energy, mobility, and strength I needed for my career.

    Musical Theater and Pilates led me to New York, where I soaked up knowledge like a sponge. During this time, my mother's battle with breast cancer shifted my focus. While completing my comprehensive Pilates certification, I dived into rehabilitation and recovery techniques within Pilates. It was then that I realized the potential of this method goes far beyond exercise; it's a holistic approach to well-being.

    Since then, I’ve dedicated my energy to expanding my knowledge of the human body from physiological to psychological and everything in between.

    My unique approach is informed by consistent education and numerous certifications, including the Pink Ribbon Program™ for breast cancer recovery, Zhealth Performance Systems, Foundation Training™, Reiki Level 1, and StrongFirst Kettlebell Certification Levels 1 & 2. I've also challenged myself with Spartan races of various lengths this year.

    I like to keep my movement method straightforward, blending art and science. I explore mobility, strength, speed, suppleness, and balance from neurological and biomechanical perspectives. I also enhance my client’s lives with a specific mixture of tools I want to share with YOU.

    I co-founded PCI because I wanted to bring more options and answers to pilates education, things I didn’t have and things I’ve been exploring for over a decade.

    I'm committed to helping you become a trailblazer in the movement industry. Pilates needs people like you, and I can’t wait to help you discover it.

    The first step is to reach out. Start your journey now.
