During COVID-19 pandemic, when Free Movement Pilates was shutdown for 4 months, Karly took the opportunity to brand her teaching approach to Pilates, and Restorative Pilates was born. Restorative Pilates blends Pilates inspired exercises from both her contemporary and classical teaching methods with mobility and stability exercises inspired by her advanced physical therapy training by restoring modern day biomechanics, automatic core efficiency, and fundamental movement patterns back into the body.

Karly, a Bethlehem Central graduate, hopes to encourage all people, of EVERY body type with chronic pain or fear of exercise and/or Pilates to come out of the woodwork, and allow themselves to benefit from transforming their bodies with Pilates.
