Kirsten Barron Sidler is excited to have recently joined the staff at Kirkland Lifestyle Pilates. Kirsten was first introduced to Pilates as part of her training at the University of California, Irvine where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Choreography and Dance Performance in 1997.

Kirsten moved to Seattle with her husband and in 2000, she decided to pursue a certification in Romana's Pilates from The Pilates Studio of Seattle to enhance her skills as a dance educator. After her certification in 2001, she continued teaching at The Pilates Studio of Seattle, now Pilates Seattle International, until joining Kirkland Lifestyle Pilates earlier this year. Although she only teaches in the studio a few hours a week, she integrates Pilates and the philosophies to her everyday life, working out, and training her dance students.

Kirsten is the mother of two young children and a full time dance instructor/choreographer. She currently teaches at Gotta Dance and Westlake Dance Center, but has taught, choreographed, and performed all over Southern California and the greater Seattle area.
