Malia Kabis

Pilates Instructor

Purposeful Pilates

Malia is a former gymnast and dancer who discovered Pilates when she started working as a receptionist/sales associate for a Pilates studio during her senior year of high school. She started taking Pilates classes as a student while she worked there. Two years later, she decided to pursue her instructor certification.Coming from a gymnastics background, Malia was most intrigued by the mind-body connection aspect that both gymnastics and Pilates share. This comforting similarity created a spark that motivated her to become an instructor and to pursue Sports Psychology within her scholastics. Through Pilates, she discovered a somewhat similar sort of training to what she had done in gymnastics that gave her a hopeful nostalgia.Malia has worked hard to expand her knowledge on the subject so that she can help her clients find the mind-body connection, as well. She enjoys being part of each client’s journey and understands that everyone’s path looks different. Malia appreciates a challenge and, of course, loves to have fun with her work. She values the relationships she builds with her clients and celebrates their accomplishments with joy as if they were her own. In her free time, Malia enjoys strength training/exercise and pursuing her passions.
