Ursula McCarty

Ursula McCarty is an artist and theatrical costumer who has been practicing fitness and wellness in various forms for many years. Originally from Iowa, she holds graduate degrees in textile art from the Universities of Iowa and Kansas and studied human conditioning and kinesiology at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake. She has taught many courses in art, art history, and costuming at several universities, and brings the individualized, supportive yet challenging approach she developed helping young artists to her work supporting others on their yoga and Pilates journeys.

After moving to Albuquerque in 2021, Ursula extended and formalized her approach to fitness, becoming a certified Pilates instructor, and has been teaching various levels since 2023. As an artist, theatre professional, and fitness practitioner, she believes in the essential connection of body and mind. She puts this belief into action by working with people of all ages and conditions to find and build on that connection — improving their physical and emotional well-being and releasing their creative energy in all aspects of their lives.
