Hoonkyung Kim

Hoonkyung Kim is a Pilates and Gyrotonic instructor at CORE Morningside with over a decade of experience teaching movement with clarity, care, and intention. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology and is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher, as well as a certified instructor in both the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods.

Hoonkyung’s teaching emphasizes natural, comfortable movement grounded in breath, spinal mobility, and pelvic alignment. She believes these foundational elements are essential for safe, effective exercise and long-term well-being. Each session is carefully adapted to the individual, using clear instruction and simple props to help clients develop better awareness, control, and confidence in their movement.

Her goal is for clients to feel both supported and appropriately challenged—and to leave each session feeling lighter, more centered, and motivated. Hoonkyung is deeply committed to the idea that true health and happiness arise from a strong connection between body and mind, and she finds great fulfillment in helping others experience that connection through Pilates and Gyrotonic.
