Feel more open, centered and supported in your body with alignment that comes from better movement, deeper core engagement and strength that makes holding good posture feel natural.

Posture is more than pulling your shoulders back

Posture is constantly changing with the way you sit, stand, breathe and move. Tightness, weakness, limited mobility and everyday habits can all influence how you naturally hold yourself. That can show up as rounded shoulders, a forward head, rib flare, a tilted pelvis, desk-related stiffness or postural changes associated with scoliosis or hypermobility.

That is why simply reminding yourself to sit up straight rarely creates lasting change. When your body does not have the mobility, strength or coordination to support a position comfortably, maintaining it becomes work and tension often takes over. The goal is not to hold one perfect position. It is to give your body the support it needs to find better alignment naturally throughout your day.

  • "Having a personal instructor is completely different and so much better. After three sessions, I feel sure of myself and know how to stand and how to sit. Clarissa is a very good communicator and it is obvious that she has a lot of knowledge for human anatomy. She does a great job of guiding me through positions and making clear what I should and shouldn't be feeling. I am excited to keep working with Clarissa and to continue strengthening my body in a whole new way."

    TOM J.

  • "Clarissa has been transformative. After 20 years of working at a desk over a computer, I had terrible posture and constant pain. After I began working with her, I quickly began to feel relief. Now over a year later I feel strong with no recurring pain. I enjoy our sessions and feel like she provides a thoughtful, tailored workout that has evolved as my body and needs have. Clarissa is the best and I highly recommend her - especially to those who have specific needs beyond just fitness that deserve knowledgeable guidance and expertise."

    SI L.

  • "Clarissa can cause significant improvement on people's bodies. I improved my balance and posture as a result of following her classes routinely. I like her clear instructions and well designed routines. She helped me to synchronize my breathing with my movement on the pilates machine. Her positive attitude towards life and enthusiasm is contagious!

    ERCAN E.

  • "Clarissa has truly transformed both my body and the way I move through life. She is incredibly meticulous and has a depth of knowledge about form, alignment, hypermobility, and functional movement that I have never encountered in another instructor. She doesn't simply guide you through exercises--she studies how your body moves, identifies the patterns that are causing pain or instability, and helps rebuild your movement from the ground up. Working with her has been genuinely life-changing."

    SAMMY R.

  • "Clarissa is an incredible pilates teacher and an intuitive and kind guide. I have hypermobility which can be a vulnerability for injury and Clarissa helps me safely increase my strength and flexibility. I'm so grateful for our work together and would recommend her to anyone."

    SHANA L.

  • "I really appreciate how much thought and attention to detail Clarissa puts into her classes. Her pleasant and patient demeanor makes you feel extremely welcomed and relaxed. She truly cares about her clients. I would recommend her for all levels of students."

Create posture that is supported by strength, not held by tension.

Improve alignment by releasing unnecessary tension, addressing your current postural habits and aligning your breath, core and movement to work together.

  • Experience breath work and deep core integration to improve how your ribs, pelvis and spine work together. Better coordination between your breathing, abdominals and pelvic floor gives your body a stronger foundation to organize around and makes better posture easier to access during exercise and everyday life.

  • Improve mobility where your body feels stiff or restricted so you no longer have to compensate around those areas. Creating more freedom through the spine, shoulders, hips and rib cage can ease the tightness, discomfort and aches associated with rounded shoulders, rib flare, forward head posture and other common postural patterns.

  • Posture is shaped by the movement and postural patterns your body repeats every day. Through precise movement and neuromuscular retraining, we address rib flare, pelvic position, muscular imbalances and compensations so your body can organize itself more efficiently and better alignment begins to happen automatically and feel more natural.

  • Build the strength and endurance to carry better alignment into sitting, standing, lifting, exercising and everything else you do. The goal is for your posture to hold up in real life with less effort so you can move with more freedom and confidence.

Better posture changes more than just how you stand

It helps you breathe deeper, connect with your core, move with less tension and feel stronger in everything you do.

Whether your goal is standing taller, easing neck and back tension, improving your core strength or feeling more aligned during your workouts and everyday life, I’m here to help you create posture that feels natural, looks confident and supports the way you want to move.
