Erin McFarling is a native of Atlanta Georgia and went to The Paideia School. She left to attend college at the University of Pittsburgh and Graduate school at the University of Miami to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Erin has recently returned to Atlanta to be close to her family and works as a Pediatric Physical Therapist for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. While studying Physical Therapy in Miami she became a student of Pilates at Polestar. Erin underwent training at the Polestar studio in Miami to become a certified Pilates instructor on the mat, barrels, reformer, chair and trapeze table with a focus on rehabilitation. At Polestar she had the opportunity to work with clients with low back pain, clients with Parkinson’s Disease, elite athletes and pre/post natal care. Erin grew up playing soccer through college and never enjoyed the way the rigorous gym workouts and heavy weight lifting made her body feel. With Pilates she was able to find an approach that addressed not only the body but that challenged her mind allowing her to feel rejuvenated and refreshed after her sessions.
