Son Ah Yun

Son Ah Yun is an instructor at CORE Morningside specializing in Classical Pilates and Redcord. She received her Pilates certification in 2014 and her Redcord certification in 2017, and continues to deepen her work through advanced teacher training and ongoing education.

Son Ah has completed Advanced Teacher Training through The Pilates Center and additional study in Archival Pilates on the Chair and Cadillac. She is currently completing a Women’s Health and Exercise Pilates Specialist Certification focused on pre- and postnatal care, diastasis, perimenopause, and menopause. She also serves as a Host Advisor for teacher training programs, reflecting her passion for mentoring and supporting other teachers.

Her teaching philosophy is rooted in curiosity and care. Son Ah approaches every session as a living process—responding to how the client feels that day while thoughtfully building from one session to the next. She works with the whole person, with the intention of helping clients feel strong, powerful, and in control of their bodies.

Son Ah often works with clients managing pain, as well as those who enjoy being challenged. Her approach is deeply informed by her own experiences navigating spinal surgery and a family history of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, shaping a practice that is both compassionate and empowering. She loves teaching teachers and believes that the process of mentoring others continually deepens her own understanding of the work.
