Profile of Kaytlyn Shepherd, instructor at Higher Terrain

Kaytlyn Shepherd

Originally from northern Idaho, Kaytlyn has lived in Aspen for nearly 20 years, having first been brought here by the beauty and endless outdoor activities first brought me here, and having chosen to stay in order to raise her 3 children in this incredible area. Kaytlyn received her Pilates certification from Body Arts and Science International 15 years ago. Since then she has acquired many continuing education certifications including athletic advantage, pre-natal, post-natal and spinal injuries.

Her favorite exercise is plank to pike on the reformer. It’s such a simple movement, but gives the feeling of elongation and strengthening for the entire body. She has a true passion for teaching Pilates; in her own words, “I love to make people feel better in their bodies which trickles over to a better quality of life.”
