Karla is an amazing, unique instructor! She has a true passion for classical Pilates, and, on top of her certifications and hours of study on this topic, has even visited the site of Joseph Pilates’s studio in NY. In addition, she is always doing a new certification outside of Pilates and cares deeply about using all this info together with Pilates to help her clients improve alignment, strength, and flexibility in and out of the studio. Sessions with Karla are a fantastic experience!

For over 8 eight years I have been fortunate to have Karla as my Pilates instructor. I have had other instructors in the past but none as caring and passionate as Karla. She not only takes me through the Pilates routine but also teaches me good posture and body alignment. She constantly evaluates my current situation and quickly modifies each session to address my immediate needs. She is extremely attentive to detail…both form and function…continually educating me on the finer points, making minor modifications to how I perform that make major differences in the results.
Karla’s studio is fully equipped with Peak Pilates apparatus as well as strength training equipment.
The older I get the more beneficial I find Karla’s instruction, support and guidance to maintaining and improving my flexibility, mobility, and my overall sense of wellness…both mind and body.
Karla is continually improving her own knowledge and abilities as a student and instructor of Pilates, and related fields, which demonstrates her commitment to being the best that she can be for her clients.

Karla is the most dedicated, knowledgeable and dynamic instructor anyone could hope to find. Her list of certifications is a mile long and growing, but it is her true passion for Pilates and health and wellness in general that sets her apart. I was lucky enough to meet her years ago and our sessions are my favorite hour of every week. On a macro level she helps clients feel longer, leaner and stronger but her guidance and cues are on such a micro level that you can isolate very specific muscle groups and strengthen properly from the inside out. Her sessions are safe, efficient and fun and the results are both immediate and long term. I hope to continue as her client for years to come!

Es una excelente entrenadora, ya que es muy detallista en cada ejercicio, estando al pendiente en los mÃnimos detalles posturales, me cuida en cada posición, y está al pendiente en los problemas de movilidad que se me presentan para corregirlos. Es una persona muy preparada y actualizada.

Karla is amazing! Her technical ability and skills are only overshadowed by her sincere dedication and commitment to each of her clients individual goals. I’ve been a client since 2017 and continue to learn and achieve more with each session.
