Karen Garcia

Karen spent ten years as a professional ballet dancer with the Dallas, Washington, Fort Worth, and Milwaukee Ballet Companies that performed works from most of the great neo classical and classical choreographers of our time and classical repertory such as Swan Lake, Giselle, Cinderella, and Coppelia.

A career ending knee injury and subsequent Pilates assisted recovery compelled her to devote her time to introducing others to the System

Trained and certified in 1996 under Manhattan-based Romana Kryzanowska, a Joseph Pilates protégé, Karen is one of a handful of second generation Pilates instructors in the world.

Karen founded Studio Body Logic® Authentic Pilates Studios, which have earned significant recognition from local, statewide and national news media as reputable teaching centers. There are two locations serving over 300 students with multiple instructors, and apprentices, and office staff members.

Karen has taught Pilates for corporations, dance and Pilates conventions, and destination spas. Karen has also created several nationally best-selling and critically acclaimed Pilates fitness DVDs.
