Kendal Au is the founder of Pilates To The People.  She completed her Pilates Teacher Training with Body Arts & Science International in San Francisco.  She has enjoyed swimming, gymnastics, running and martial arts.  She is also a community muralist and activist.  She realized that there is ample opportunity to bring her newest physical skill to communities who might not otherwise have access and still make her living and expand her community art.

words from a client:

"Kendal has that rarest of gifts: she sees you--how you carry yourself and move through your own existence, and she shows you how to know yourself, as you are, from the inside. Most exercise instructors show you some movements, but Kendal shows you how to move in the way your body was meant to--from your own core of strength and point of balance. She is funny, compassionate and incredibly helpful. Within an hour she had me connecting with my own body in ways that months of yoga never did. She showed me how to work muscles I rarely used, and free up sections of my spine that had been so stiff for so long I thought that was their natural state. I was never once, as I usually am, hesitant or in doubt about my own capacity to accomplish what she asked of me--even though some of it was technically fairly difficult, because she inspires confidence.

"She is one of the best instructors in mind-body connection that I have ever had the pleasure of working with."
