History
In 2008 while skiing in Colorado, Albana was injured with a tear in her ACL left knee where she was told by a doctor she would need surgery, however Albana decided she would wait it out and try other alternatives. During her physical therapy treatments, a friend suggested rehabilitation through Pilates. With a lot of hard work, Albana was able to completely recover her knee without going under the knife. She continued to practice Pilates even after and grew to love it. She went from practicing once a week to three times a week over the next few years. Pilates became part of Albana's lifestyle. In 2012, Albana left her 18 year career in fashion and gave up the grind. With plans to move out to sunny Arizona, she enrolled in The Kane School in NYC where she took certification courses in Mat, all Equipment, as well as a special enhanced Bridge Program focusing on Touch, Bio-Mechanics of the body, and Special Populations and Injury.
