Our Story

Pilates Carioca was born out of a deep personal passion for movement and well-being. My own journey with Pilates began on the sun-kissed beaches of Brazil, where I discovered the magic of combining traditional techniques with the lively spirit of my culture. After relocating to Victoria, BC, I felt an insatiable draw to share this experience with others. I wanted to create a space where people could not just exercise, but truly connect with their bodies in a meaningful way. Watching clients transform—both physically and emotionally—drives me to push boundaries in our practice. Every class I teach reflects my commitment to infusing joy into movement while promoting physical strength and mental clarity. The community we’ve built here is a testament to our shared exploration of wellness. It’s more than just Pilates; it’s a celebration of life through movement, inspired by the vibrant rhythms of Brazil.
