Welcome to Posture Studio Pilates & Physical Therapy!

I’m Carla Shifflett, Founder and Director. I opened Posture Studio in Charlottesville in 2005 with a vision of creating a movement center for people of all levels—from athletes to those recovering from injury.

Over the past 20 years, that vision has continued to evolve. In 2024, we expanded to include orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapy, bringing Pilates, rehabilitation, and movement education together under one roof.

Today, our team of experienced instructors and physical therapists shares a common approach: thoughtful, individualized care rooted in functional movement and whole-body wellness. While each practitioner brings their own expertise and teaching style, there is consistency in how we help people build strength, move with confidence, and better understand their bodies.

We look forward to welcoming you to Posture Studio!

Warmly,
Carla Shifflett
