THE PILATES METHOD
Understand how Pilates benefits YOU
The Pilates Method is an intelligent exercise program that strengthens & tones the muscles, improves balance & stability and increases flexibility & mobility. Pilates focuses not just on the core muscles, but how to move from your core so your body works together as a unit to support the spine. Pilates has been proven to eliminate back pain, rehabilitate from injury or surgery, counter stress or anxiety and improve physical wellbeing and overall health.

Kyla Browne
Pilates Instructor & Administrative Assistant
Hi everyone, I’m Kyla! I’m so excited and truly grateful to be joining the RB Pilates family.
Exercise and athletics have shaped so much of who I am. As a certified personal trainer through the International Sports Sciences Association and a former Division I track and field athlete, I’ve built a strong foundation in strength, discipline, and body awareness. With a background in gymnastics and competitive dance, I’ve always appreciated the balance of power, control, and grace in movement.
Pilates quickly became something I absolutely love. I love how it challenges you, centers you, and brings people together in such a supportive way. It’s more than just a workout it’s a space to grow stronger and more confident.
I’m really looking forward to meeting you, supporting you, and being part of this amazing community. See you in class soon.

KAT REGAN
Certified Pilates Instructor & Mentor for Teachers in Training
In 2013, Kat began taking Pilates on the recommendation of a friend who touted its many health benefits. After one class, she was hooked on the Pilates method, which has become an important part of her everyday lifestyle. In 2014, she began her instructor training in mat 1 & mat 2 through Balanced Body Education at Pilates Reforming NY in NYC, and in 2016, went on to complete her comprehensive certification in classical mat and apparatus systems at Beacon Pilates.
For more than twenty years Kat has taught art in Orange County. Her background in education, coupled with her desire to deepen her own knowledge of Pilates and anatomy are her motivation for becoming an instructor. She strongly follows Joseph Pilates’ philosophy that physical and mental well-being are ageless. Through Pilates, she found both a passion and an opportunity to help others improve their strength and well-being.
In 2015 she joined the APG Pilates studio where she taught classical Pilates system for nearly 5 years.
Kat is excited to be part of the RB Pilates team, where she is looking forward to working with students of all levels, helping them find balance and thrive in their everyday lives.
PEYTON MCGUAN
Certified Pilates Instructor & Mentor for Teachers in Training
Hello everyone!! My name is Peyton McGuan and I’m so stoked to be part of the RB family. I’m originally from Granby, Colorado and just graduated from Johnson and Wales in Providence, Rhode Island with a degree in equine business management. I just moved to New York full time to ride professionally at Free Walk Dressage. Before RB Pilates I was an instructor at 401 Move Fitness Studio in Providence. That is where I fell in love with teaching Pilates and helping all bodies feel confident and move in new ways. My goal is to create a safe space for everyone to feel comfortable but also push you to help you achieve whatever fitness or personal goals you may have. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone, and I hope to see you all soon!!
SUSAN WONG
Certified Pilates & Certified Alexander Technique Instructor
My name is Susan. I am a small batch producer of specialty baked goods, a certified Alexander Technique (M. AmSAT) and Pilates teacher (The Kane School of Core Integration), a business transformation leader, a road cycler and a student of QiGong. I was meant to move, to dream big, to feel big and to transform how companies operate and how people move.
The backbone of a body is similar to the infrastructure for a skyscraper to stand tall and a company’s operating model to scale and flex for business growth and retraction. But after debilitating injuries, I reached a point in my life when I could no longer scale; I could not flex.
In the coming weeks and months of recovery, I had nothing but time to come to the life changing realization that I was given the chance to use this downtime constructively. Through years of study in anatomy, the Alexander Technique, and Pilates plus real time feedback from elite athletes, kinesiologists, physical therapists and mobility coaches on the practical application, I set out rebuilding me – from the ground up. I’ve integrated these learnings into tools and experiences to help others at any stage in their lives to also move more efficiently and with less effort so they can live their best lives doing the things they love. Let's do this.
CORINNE ROGULSKI
Certified Pilates Instructor & Mentor for Teachers in Training
I began practicing Pilates in 2015; I was drawn to its rhythmic and systemic nature. Approaching my mid-thirties, I found a method that balanced mind and body, made me move with intention and control, and forged an unknown core strength and stability: it became a healing practice. My lower back pain, and my discomfort associated with Piriformis Syndrome were dramatically relieved. Pilates movement kept me mindful of how I use my body in space on a daily basis. A high school English Teacher, I value practices that are grounding yet flexible - practices that evolve with the student. Pilates informs my improvement in the classroom and guides my movement in everyday life.
In 2017 I received my Comprehensive Certificate through Beacon Pilates, studying under Juliet Harvey, a rigorous classical trainer of Joseph Pilates’ system.The extensive 500-hour program covered his classical orders and techniques in painstaking detail.
I later began teaching Pilates Mat and Apparatus. My love of Mat is evident - the creative and classic combine for a fun, challenging, and engaging experience. I now believe that the interconnected nature of Pilates is helpful to and meaningful for all clients.
Being in the movement, especially when the mind and body have a sudden “aha” moment, moves me: I enjoy helping clients move with awareness through this method.
My guilty pleasure(s): hot dogs & vanilla frosted donuts.
