Hi there!

Carla Ricalis

My name is Carla Ricalis.

Since 1996 I’ve been teaching Pilates to clients and instructors.

And I’ve learned quite a few things along the way.

When I first started teaching Pilates, it was a form of fitness that few had heard about but was steadily gaining popularity.

Since then, it’s evolved to being a pillar in movement wellness, that many successful businesses have been built upon.

Early in my career, I had the opportunity to teach and mentor instructors worldwide as a STOTT Pilates Instructor Trainer, directing several studios and co-founding the STOTT Pilates Northern California Certification Centre.

When I opened Studio3 in 2008, I realized that there was a gap between what was taught in Pilates certification programs and instructors’ understanding of how to create strong Pilates workouts and confidently teach clients.

And it’s a gap that can significantly impact instructor success, client experience and studio revenue.

Woman doing Pilates

I was inspired to bridge that gap so that instructors could succeed, our studio could thrive and clients could truly experience the value of Pilates.

Make Your Pilates Career A Great One.
