Katy Lush
Katy Lush, BFA, is a fitness expert, creator of Lush Living studio, and former owner of Chicago River North Pilates. She’s on a mission to get more people moving - so they can lead less sedentary lives and reap the health benefits of accessible, restorative, and sustainable movement habits. A Pilates Educator, GYROTONIC® Pre-Trainer, Restorative Exercise Specialist, and Certified Movement Analyst (with a background as a retired dancer, pre-Olympic gymnast, and trapeze artist!), Katy believes in making exercise something that any person at any age can do. Katy has taught movement for over 20 years, with an emphasis on clients with traumatic injuries, post-cancer rehabilitation, joint replacement, neurological disorders, and training Pilates and GYROTONIC® teachers. When she’s not running her studio, speaking on podcasts and panels, or being a fitness workshop junkie, you can find Katy playing with her 5 and 9-year-old, drinking chocolate-mint tea, walking on the Tomahawk Trail, and dreaming of travels in faraway places with her husband. Katy’s unique and intuitive methods of teaching, combined with her warm and encouraging attitude, help her clients discover the joy of movement and unlock their fullest fitness potential at every age and stage of life.
