YOUR TEACHER TRAINER
Sandra Benavente-Carey
Sandra received her Power Pilates certification in 2017 and became a Teacher Trainer in April 2025. After years of working out with heavy weights and Cross Fit types of exercises, Pilates was the perfect fit. It proved to be a challenging workout that also provided a mindfulness and attention to detail that she hadn’t yet experienced. She also noticed that the mild back pain that was attributed to a mild scoliosis had improved significantly.Sandra sought a certification through Power Pilates in 2017. She is consistent with her own self practice in addition to weekly private sessions, Master trainings, and Continuing Education classes. She has also taken several workshops with the Master Trainer Inelia Garcia of Authentic Method Pilates.
After 20 years in the banking industry, she learned how to listen to clients and assist them in making decisions about their future goals. She applies that same philosophy when working with clients at the Providence Pilates Center in Rhode Island and helps them meet their health and wellness goals. Her priority is to have all clients feel better than they did prior to their session.
Sandra lives in Lincoln, RI with her 3 boys Aidan, Dylan, and Jack, husband Chris, and dog Luna.
