“My goal is to inspire a love for movement that effortlessly flows into your daily life.”

Paula Carnabuci has spent the majority of her life immersed in the movement industry. Beginning with ballet as a young girl and later expanding to modern and jazz dance during her teenage years, she developed a deep appreciation for the art and science of movement. She was also introduced to the early days of the "fitness craze", which sparked her interest in fitness as a means of movement. Fascinated by how fitness classes could engage the cardiovascular system and create a sense of euphoria, Paula recognized a calling in this field, while also feeling that the structure of these classes required refinement.

Drawing from her background in dance and fitness, Paula created a workout method that combines the most beneficial and accessible elements of both disciplines. Her focus is on offering a clear, detailed approach to internal body mechanics, empowering her students to engage their muscles deeply and move from the inside out. Her mission is to provide a comprehensive and informative training experience that helps individuals understand and achieve effective human movement.

To further establish herself as a credible authority in the field, Paula pursued a graduate degree in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology from Columbia University. There, she delved into the cellular components of the human physiological system, studied biomechanics, conducted hands-on research in an exercise lab, and analyzed a wide range of scholarly texts and journals. This rigorous academic experience allowed her to substantiate the scientific principles of movement.

Paula’s innovative technique has been featured in major publications, including Glamour, Elle, Fitness, and many others. She has also contributed as a writer to FIT magazine. Her expertise caught the attention of major brands like Motown and Reebok, who approached her to develop exercise videos utilizing her methodology. She has trained people of all ages and fitness levels, from supermodels to people with severe contraindications and everyone in between. Paula owned and operated Energy Movement Center in the lower Hudson Valley, designed and ran fitness classes and private training sessions for Eileen Fisher corporate headquarters.

Paula's approach is the culmination of a lifelong journey to integrate art, science, and effective bodywork, resulting in a methodology that continues to inspire and empower individuals to achieve optimal movement.
