Meet the Business Owner

Karen G.

Business Owner

Karen began studying Authentic Pilates in 1995 after a career ending knee injury left her unable to walk sufficiently. The significant physical change convinced her to enter the certification program and teach others.

She became a Certified Instructor in Authentic Pilates in 1996. At that time, she opened Studio Body Logic, the first Pilates studio in Northern Virginia. Prior to opening her own studio, Ms. Garcia spent ten years as a professional dancer with the Dallas, Washington, Fort Worth, and Milwaukee Ballet Companies. She has extensive experience teaching ballet, pointe, movement, and exercise, and holds a BFA in Dance from Southern Methodist University. Her post-​graduate work at George Mason University focused on exercise psychology lab notation and movement anthropology.

Ms. Garcia has given numerous workshops and lectures for area dance schools, gyms, and corporations.
