Karina Vazquez
Pilates Instructor
My upbringing stems from Guadalajara Mexico where my mother, in health and fitness
influenced me at a young age. Watching her teach fitness and nutrition with all sorts of tropical
fruits, homeopathic remedies which runs deep in the Latin Culture. Dance, music, family, food
and festivities were all around my upbringing. Having watched my mother teach after having
five children and staying fit was what I have chosen to pass onto my twin babies.
I carried my twins to full term and they were a combined weight 14.8Lbs through C-Section.
This came with a high price on my spinal cord and nervous system compounded by always
demanding a high level of performance from my body. Not until I started taking Pilates
Reformer was I able to get back into peak physical performance better than prior to my
pregnancy. I have studied and trained to become a Pilates Reformer instructor and bring all I
have learned from my entire life to the teaching platform.
I now live in Sacramento California, and have been teaching since 2007. I currently teach
Zumba, Pilates Reformer, Spin, Yoga, Strength Training and having taken many classes such as
Cardio Kickboxing, Circuit Training and Pilates. What I bring to the clubs I teach at is a unique
perspective, one of student, teacher and motivator and a loyal following. Taking my Pilates
Reformer class regardless of level of experience with Pilates Reformer you will feel welcome,
accomplished, and more in tune with body and mind through precise movements.
