Paola Maruca, PMA®-CPT

InForma Pilates LLC is owned and operated by Paola Maruca. Paola is a PMA®-Certified Pilates Teacher, a Balanced Body® Master Instructor, a licensed Pilates for Buff Bones® Instructor, a Pilates for MS™ and other Neurological Diseases Specialist and a Level 3 Franklin Method® Educator.

Since becoming a Certified Pilates Instructor in 2007, Paola has taught Pilates to a wide range of individuals and groups in both Italy and the U.S.

Because she recognizes the importance of continued learning, she keeps current in fitness and Pilates studies by attending seminars and workshops in the U.S. and abroad with some of the most distinguished and recognized Pilates and movement educators in the world.

Paola strongly believes in the Pilates method having experienced it first as a client and a passionate instructor now.

The core foundational principle that guides her work is that Pilates is a prerequisite for a healthy life. This is achieved through body awareness and healthy movement.

Without Pilates, we develop imbalanced postures and dysfunctional movement. Pilates is not only an effective form of fitness, but a way to develop functional neurological patterns that affect both the body and mind.

Since these neurological patterns are developed at a very young age and impact our health and performance our entire lives, it is vital to begin practicing the Pilates method during childhood. Therefore, Paola teaches custom-tailored classes for kids.

One of the things that makes her teaching unique is the way she blends the principles of the Franklin Method® into Pilates. She teaches her clients how to use Dynamic Neuro Cognitive Imagery and anatomical embodiment to enhance functional movement. For more information: www.franklinmethod.com
