Balanced Body invited Cari Riis Stemmler to share her expertise in their ongoing Pilates for Athletes video podcasts. This educational series helps Pilates teachers identify and address the unique issues found in athletes and dancers.

Cari danced professionally for 12 years in commercial and company projects in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and on tour. She now dedicates part of her Pilates work at Paragon Pilates and Physical Therapy to helping dancers. She and her partner, Rhondi Miller are members of Minnesota Dance Medicine.
