History

Established in 2006.

Posture Studio opened in 2006 with the goal of teaching pilates while also educating clients about posture as it pertains to their own bodies. The instructors at Posture Studio decode the mystery of alignment and instruct each class with attention to individual needs.

Pilates is a great way to strengthen and improve overall efficiency and performance, but when taught with such an individualized, thoughtful approach, it can change lives.

Meet the Business Owner

Carla R.

Business Owner

Carla was first drawn to pilates in 1998 while rehabilitating her own body. In 2002, she became a certified pilates instructor through The Physical Mind Institute and has also studied the STOTT Pilates method extensively. Carla later worked at The Albemarle Center for Health & Rehabilitation and found that years of working with an injured population taught her the art of seeing structural imbalances clearly.

Holding a BA in Philosophy and Religion, Carla returned to school to study the sciences in 2005 and continues to study movement analysis and physical therapy techniques. She opened Posture Studio as a way to educate clients in hopes that she could keep others from developing chronic pain in their own lives. Carla currently works with a range of people, varying from post-​rehabilitative clients to athletes. She also enjoys mentoring other instructors by teaching them the art of seeing and correcting postural alignment.
