ABOUT POSTURE POWER WELLNESS
Meet the Therapist-Led Team Behind Your Strength
We're a Denver Pilates and pelvic floor studio built on one belief: wellness is a right, not a privilege. We specialize in women's health, and we welcome every body.
OUR STORY
Where Clinical Care Meets Joyful Movement
After more than 20 years as a pelvic floor occupational therapist, Shari kept seeing the same gap: women finished therapy with nowhere safe to keep getting stronger. Posture Power Wellness was built to close that gap, blending pelvic floor therapy, Pilates and functional movement into one therapist-led method called CoreRehab. Today we teach at two Denver studios, Congress Park and Central Park, and online through CoreRehab On Demand.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Movement Should Be
Accessible. Sustainable. Evidence-informed. Functional. Empowering. Wellness is a right, not a privilege, so every class is designed to meet you where you are, connecting breath, core, pelvic floor and alignment to the way you move every day. No quick fixes, just real strength that lasts.

Meet Shari Barta
Shari Barta, MS, OTR/L, CPT, NCPT, PCES, is a pelvic floor occupational therapist, Pilates educator and the creator of CoreRehab. For more than 20 years she has helped women stop accepting symptoms they were told were normal, because common does not mean normal.

OUR TEACHERS
Trained in Pelvic-Informed Movement
Every Posture Power teacher is trained in the CoreRehab approach, so you get the same expert, therapist-led care in every class, at every studio.
