KIND WORDS

  • "Clarissa is, hands down, the best Pilates teacher I've ever had. Her classes are well structured and will quickly whip your body into incredible shape: long, lean and strong! Amazing core workout and she takes the time to personally work with each of her students for the best possible workout. Always smiling, energetic and inspiring :)"

    AMY G.

  • "Clarissa helped me rebuild and strengthen my abs and core in some ways I was able to locate and strengthen muscles that I had never noticed before, not after years of Bar Method or PT sessions. I found her to be caring, thoughtful and really invested in helping me regain my post partum strength and well being."

    Anna Y.

  • "I was recommended to Clarissa and after about 12 months, I am now pain free on the course and in the swimming pool. I feel stronger, more flexible and more intentional. It is rare to find someone who is so passionate, talented and dedicated to the well-being of others."

    SCOTT G.


  • "Clarissa is the best! I have done both privates and her small group classes and get a ton out of both formats. Clarissa is knowledgeable and intuitive with the ability to connect and communicate with different personalities, abilities, etc. and is a joy to spend time with. I am doubtful you could find a better instructor than Clarissa."

    TOM J.

  • "If there's one thing you do for yourself after having a baby, do this! Clarissa has helped me reconstruct all of those deep muscles that had been on vacation for 9 months at the right pace for someone recovering from childbirth. She knows how to push you to get an amazing workout, while protecting your very delicate new-mom bods."

    LAURA M.

  • "After 20 years of working at a desk over a computer, I had terrible posture and constant pain. Clarissa has been transformative. Now over a year later I feel strong with no recurring pain.

It was a solid, challenging workout that was also pretty enjoyable."

Workout with me for a strong core and a body that feels good to live in.

I started pilates back in 2003 in my own search for more strength and less pain. I fell in love with Pilates instantly for its ability to transform my body and what it’s capable of doing. Through the course of my experience as a Pilates instructor, now with over 20,000 hours of hands-on instruction and over two decades of practical experience and education, I’ve developed a method that combines the traditional Pilates principles with the latest in exercise science to make Pilates safer, more applicable and more effective to anyone looking to feel strong and flexible at any age, regardless of movement experience, limitations or starting fitness level.
