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 and teaching methods from both her contemporary and classical training with mobility and strength exercises inspired by training and restoring modern day biomechanics, core efficiency  and  fundamental movement patterns back into the body. 

Karly, a Bethlehem Central graduate, relocated back to Delmar to be closer to family and friends.  Karly hopes to encourage people in Delmar with chronic pain or fear of exercise and Pilates to come out of the woodwork, and allow themselves to benefit from transforming their bodies with Pilates.  Once an active member of the triathlon community, triathlons have been put on hold while she focuses on raising her  2 daughters, Mia (1) and Olivia (3) with her husband, Marc.
