Fernanda (Fer) Diaz
Carmen is a comprehensively trained and certified Pilates instructor from San Diego, California. She's been teaching and sharing her love for the practice since 2019. She has her Barre Above and TRX certification and loves a good supine arms series. One of her favorite benefits of Pilates is the mind and body connection, which is one of her top priorities in all of her classes. With her never ending verbal cues, hands on corrections and seamless progressions, you won't be thinking of anything else other than breathing and focus when you take class with her. She loves to make everyone feel welcomed and at home in the studio whether you are brand new to the reformer or a seasoned vet looking for a burn. So come say hi and take her class!
