Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned mover, Cara focuses on building core strength from the ground up, because she truly believes that mastering your body’s foundations can be life-changing.
When she’s not cueing the perfect plank (her love language), you’ll find her fine-tuning Pictures in Photoshop, sipping on a flat white, or grooving to Barry White. Cara brings both strength and sass to every session.
