Nicole Kennedy, Founder and Owner of Empowered Body Pilates, discovered Pilates while dancing for internationally acclaimed San Francisco Ballet. It was during her time with SFB, Nicole encountered the Pilates method and quickly began utilizing it as her primary form of cross training, discovering the ways in which it could enhance her dancing.
After nearly a decade of practicing, teaching and mentoring, Nicole felt the need to reground herself within the foundational work and went back to being a student. In 2018, Nicole received her second Comprehensive Certificate with Alycea Ungaro's REAL ® Pilates®. In 2022, Nicole was promoted to Teacher Trainer for REAL® Pilates.
Nicole is the only host studio in California entrusted with the industry's most rigorous certification program. She is on a mission to uphold the lineage of Classical Pilates while creating livable and sustainable job opportunities for Pilates professionals in the South Bay.
