THE KATHY GRANT SCHOLARSHIP

The Kathy Grant Scholarship goes to one deserving BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Colour) recipient per year through BASI Pilates South Africa.

BASI champions diversity; we believe it is one of our greatest strengths as a global Pilates education company. Kathy Grant was a dear friend and teacher to BASI Pilates founder Rael Isacowitz. She was one of only two people actually certified to teach by Joseph Pilates, and not only was a pillar in the Pilates community, but in the black community as well.
