ABOUT ANDREA
Led by Lived Expertise
Andrea Kane has spent over 35 years working with elite athletes, post-surgical clients, prenatal bodies, and people navigating burnout and chronic pain. She rebuilt her own body after four total knee replacements. The Radical Change Method™ wasn't written in a lab - it was built session by session, body by body, in a real studio.
When you train with Andrea, you're not memorizing a manual. You're learning to see, adapt, and teach with confidence.
Why Somatic Pilates?
More clients than ever are arriving with nervous system dysregulation, chronic tension, fatigue, and trauma held in the body. Traditional fitness models weren't built for this.
A somatic approach teaches you to:
• Cue movement that feels safe, not forced
• Read what the body is actually doing, not just what it looks like
• Modify with understanding, not just mechanics
• Offer real nervous system support through movement
This is the future of movement instruction. And it's what we teach.

WHO THIS IS FOR
This Training Is For You If You Are:
• An aspiring instructor ready to turn your passion into a career
• A bodyworker, massage therapist, yoga teacher, or doula wanting to add somatic movement

• Someone returning from burnout, recovery, or a major life shift — and ready to make that wisdom your work
INDEPENDENT PROGRAM NOTE
Independent by Design
This is not a manufacturer-affiliated program. It's independent by intention; so it can stay personal, client-centered, and grounded in how bodies actually work and heal.
You won't rush through a manual. You'll observe, practice, and integrate until you trust yourself to teach. You'll work with real clients across body types, life stages, and recovery timelines. And you'll leave with something most programs don't give you: a real foundation.
