About Saraiva Pilates

Who is behind Studio saraiva pilates

My name is Caroline Saraiva and I have been teaching pilates for 20 years. I discovered a passion for fitness in my early 20’s, I began training my mother to help improve her cardiovascular health and overall strength. I was able to motivate her to stay healthy and I loved seeing the results. A few years later, I certified as a personal trainer through the YMCA. A few short years, I randomly discovered the pilates method. The instant benefits were astounding, in the next few years, I became a full time pilates instructor and never looked back. I have owned studio saraiva pilates which is a home-based fully equipped studio for 12 years. I continue to help people achieve their goals.
