Hi! I am Emily King, a Level 2 STOTT Pilates certified Instructor, a graduate of the Clinical Pilates Diploma with Breathe Education, a 400 hour Certified Yoga Teacher and a former Massage Therapist and Physical Therapy Aid. I have been teaching Pilates and movement for over 20 years, and I have mentored Pilates students and Instructors since 2009. My path has given me a deep respect for how the body heals, adapts, and strengthens over time.

I found Pilates due to chronic back and hip pain in my early twenties. My Physical Therapist suggested I do Pilates for strength and conditioning. I was a dancer, gymnast, yoga teacher, massage therapist and a lover of movement and healing modalities. Pilates made the most sense as the next step in my own personal transformation so through the process of learning to teach, being mentored and having a consistent Pilates practice, I rehabilitated myself. My teaching is rooted in a holistic, evidence informed and whole person approach. I value precision, thoughtful progression, honest communication, and I do not subscribe to the pressure, performance, perfectionism or trends that can dominate the fitness spaces. Instead, I create an environment where clients can feel supported, seen, and challenged in an empowering way.

I specialize in pre and post rehab Pilates, and I also work with clients, students and Instructors who are ready to move toward more advanced Pilates movement skills. That might mean rebuilding basics after an injury, refining movement patterns, or progressing into more complex repertoire with clarity and control. Every session is tailored to the people in front of me, not to a trend or template.

My studio is located at my residence in Post Falls, Idaho and offers a quiet, private setting with people who want more than exercise; they want skilled guidance, meaningful progress, and a better relationship with their body and movement practice.

Welcome to the Three Waves Pilates & Movement community. I am happy you are here.

Emily
