Born and raised in Jackson Hole, Amy Kingwill returns to the region after many years working as a performer, arts administrator, movement and Pilates Instructor primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a movement specialist with over 35 years experience in dance training and performance; her Pilates and functional fitness training, yoga practice, Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais work build on this foundation. Known fondly as the “Velvet Hammer” , Amy empathetically reads her clients and adjusts to push them just enough without overdoing it or causing further injury. She brings her love of motion, her kinesthetic awareness, and her inquisitiveness about what bodies can do to assist you in developing a stronger, happier, healthier you.

Amy holds a BFA in Modern Dance from the University of Utah and is a comprehensively certified Body Arts and Science International (BASI) Pilates Instructor. She is a BioMechanics Method Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE). She holds continuing education certificates in Pilates in Pregnancy and Beyond and Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies from BASI. She was a Buff Bones Certified instructor and is currently studying Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT). It’s important for Amy to be continuously working toward expanding her specialization in rehabilitation and age-related conditioning. She’s also fiercely committed to the arts, community and dry humor.
