Roots of Integrity Owner, Founder, and Instructor, Briana Kline’s excellent intuition for movement, eye for alignment, and attention to detail make her teaching style easy to understand, safe, and extremely effective. She has been teaching movement since she was in high school. Briana majored in dance and theater while studying at Western Kentucky University and Columbia College Chicago from 1998 to 2000. In 2000, she obtained her AFAA (American Fitness and Aerobics Association) certification and began teaching group fitness classes, yoga, and Pilates. After completing a Pilates mat Certification with Ellen Barrett, Pilates became her focus, and achieving top-level education and certifications became her goal. Briana shifted her focus, attending the University of Louisville to ultimately graduate with a B.S. in health promotion, physical education, and sports studies, with a concentration in exercise science and sports medicine. Throughout her studies, she taught Pilates, yoga, and group-fitness classes, getting more trainings and certifications under her belt, while also dancing in a local modern dance company, and teaching dance and color guard. After graduating, Briana’s desire for high-level training and work experience took her to New York City, where she studied Pilates at what was then the U.S. headquarters for STOTT Pilates. While on the East Coast, she also taught full-time in a prestigious New Jersey studio directing group-class programs and assisting in managing the studio.
