likes movement! Growing up in Brazil, Capoeira was her favorite sport. While seeking alternative care for her mother's scoliosis, she discovered Pilates. She moved to New York City in 2002, where she received her Pilates certification from The Kane School, which places heavy emphasis on proper alignment and functional movement. She has completed her pre-natal and postpartum certifications in Pilates and holds a bachelor degree in Physical Education from Universidade Católica do Salvador.

What excites Claudia about Pilates is that each client brings a unique set of circumstances and interests. Claudia enjoys helping her clients identify what these are and supporting them towards their best possible version of health and wellness.
