Balanced Body Certified Pilates Instructor

 

Kara first discovered Pilates as a way to cross-train and prevent injury while

dancing. She fell in love with how this method made her feel longer &

stronger from the inside out. She believes movement is medicine and everyone

can benefit from Pilates because when we are more connected with

ourselves and our powerhouse, we lead happier and more empowered lives.
