Carla is a Pilates student, teacher, and the founder of Posture Studio in Charlottesville, Virginia in the US. She shares the ways that Pilates helped her heal from a serious injury through re-learning movement patterns and breaking free of pain patterns. Her story of Pilates as a form of corrective and rehabilitative exercise is honest, relatable, and inspiring.  Follow the podcast on Instagram @pilatesstudentsmanual and on the web here: https://bit.ly/PilatesStudentsManual for the latest!  Email pilatesstudentsmanual@oliviabioni.com with your feedback.  Show Notes:  Carla found rehabilitative Pilates in 1998 while recovering from injuries that did not improve after years of traditional physical therapy approaches. She spent the following years in a long, involved training to learn how to teach movement retraining to others.  In 2002, she became a certified Pilates instructor through The Physical Mind Institute and has also studied the STOTT PILATES method extensively.  She studied and 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. She opened Posture Studio to keep others from developing chronic pain in their own lives.Visit her Posture Studio's site to learn more about offerings and workshops: *posturestudio.com* and visit their YouTube channel!
