Karla’s passion for Pilates started in 2014 in Austin, Texas. Soon after taking her first mat class, she was hooked. She enjoyed it so much that she began teaching Pilates Mat and Barre full time in 2015. In 2019, she and her husband decided on a whim to make the move to Navarre, Florida to enjoy life at the beach. She started Coast Life Fitness in Navarre, FL where she teaches Pilates, Barre, & Strength classes. Karla is certified through ACE (American Council on Exercise) as a Group Fitness Certified Instructor. She is also certified in Barre Above, Pumped UP Strength, and completed her Pilates certification through Balanced Body at Pure Pilates in 2023. Karla believes that movement is extremely important for our physical and mental health and truly loves teaching others. She is excited to bring her passion for teaching and movement to Pure Pilates!
