Elevate Your Movement Journey

KW WELL is built on a simple, powerful belief:

When we move intentionally, breathe deeply, and live mindfully, we unlock our fullest vitality — from the inside out.

The WELL Way is designed to guide you through a full-spectrum journey of embodiment, inner healing, and personal growth through three core pillars: MOVEMENT, MINDFULNESS, AND WELLNESS.

Hi there!

I’m Kelsey Wiedenhoefer, and I’m so excited to connect with you.

As a movement educator with over 15 years of experience, my approach to wellness is all about blending traditional movement practices with mindful innovation.

My journey into the world of movement started with a simple yet profound curiosity: How does movement impact not just our physical bodies, but also our mental and emotional well-being? This question has shaped everything I do.

Along the way, I’ve trained extensively, as a BASI-certified Pilates teacher, Master Barre Instructor, Fascia Stretch Specialist, and taken countless somatic, functional movement and breathwork courses. I co-founded a preeminent Pilates, Barre and Yoga studio in San Francisco in 2012, currently own and operate Move With Studio, and have collaborated with leading wellness brands including Lululemon, Vuori, Carbon 38, and Flexia Pilates. Most importantly, I have spent thousands of hours with clients from all walks of life, from those rehabbing from injury to elite professional athletes. These experiences continue to inform the way I teach: with both technical depth and intuitive presence.

Through KW WELL, I share a unique methodology that integrates empirical knowledge with intuitive wisdom. My teaching style focuses on the connection between intentional movement and personal growth. I believe that by moving with purpose, we can each discover our own path to embodied wellness.

This philosophy is also reflected in my role at Move With Studio, which has become a vibrant community where students of all backgrounds can explore and deepen their practice. I’m thrilled to invite you on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment through movement.

KIND WORDS

  • "I’ve been practicing Pilates for many years across various settings—studios, health clubs, and with individual practitioners.

    Over time, I’ve learned to distinguish between instructors with deep, authentic training and those with more superficial experience. Kesley and I have been working together for nearly four years. Living with chronic fatigue syndrome presents daily challenges to my physical energy, requiring real-time adjustments during our sessions. At the beginning of each session, Kesley always asks, “How are you feeling today?” This simple question sets the tone, allowing her to tailor the planned session to my current state. Her attentiveness to correct form and breathing in each exercise series ensures that I engage safely and effectively. Through our work together, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my strength, flexibility, and endurance. As I’ve become more familiar with the exercises, I’ve been able to challenge myself further, finding a deeper connection to my body through breath work and continuous form refinement. Kesley’s expertise, adaptability, and dedication have been instrumental in my progress. Her ability to adjust sessions on the spot, combined with her deep understanding of Pilates, has made a profoujd difference in my body. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate Pilates instructor."

  • “After feeling increasingly disconnected from my body over the course of the pandemic,

    I started working with Kelsey. Integrating pilates, breathwork, intentional movement, and meditation, she helped me feel back into my body so I could unite my mind and body more deeply. This multifaceted practice has been key for me to feel physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually centered. Both her breathwork cues throughout movement classes and her breathwork-specific classes are cathartic, helping to clear my energy and leaving me feeling deeply refreshed and aligned. I am consistently grateful to Kelsey to have this as part of my weekly practice.”

  • "After struggling with chronic back pain,

    working with Kelsey has been a game-changer. Her precise cuing and deep knowledge of body mechanics helped me rebuild strength and mobility safely. I’ve become so much more aware of my breath and movement, and my back has never felt better. Kelsey's approach to Pilates is both therapeutic and empowering."
