About Katia Valladares

Katia is one of our Hot Pilates - Mat instructors at The Core. She is from Tegucigalpa, Honduras and speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. Pilates is one of her passions in life. She loves everything related to wellness, pilates, photography, and spending time with her family. She has a bachelors's degree in Audiovisual Advertising and Communications, which have helped her apply several principles she learned there for her Pilates career. She grew up dancing and learned to love moving her body since a young age.

The first time she took a Pilates class she fell in love immediately with the method and made it part of her life. She got certified as a Mat Pilates instructor and developed a strong commitment to teach it. Her classes have a mix of both classical and contemporary mat moves. Her class structure focus on a strength/sculpting method. You will enjoy different types of upbeat music from pop, hip-hop, dance/electronic, and her favorite one which is reggaeton. For Katia, her classes are all about making people feel like they got a good full-body Pilates workout, feeling mind-body connection and most importantly feeling energized.
