The amazing Pilates sessions by Grasie has provided me more inspiration to get stronger and awake about my posture and moving. Her wonderful energy and lovely encouragement has helped me to advance in Pilates positions and supporting me to overcome previous back pain I used to experience. I totally recommend her Pilates sessions, especially for people experiencing chronic pain!

Grasie has a magical air about her, and is an outstanding teacher. Careful observation, experience, and intuition taylor her cues to fine tune even the most subtle body positioning and posture. New to Victoria, I was both eager and nervous to start Pilates classes. Grasie was welcoming and inviting over email, and I felt comfortable to visit her studio and meet in person. She is clearly a professional, yet authentic and encouraging. The studio is private, spotlessly clean and in a convenient downtown location. Grasie knows the human body, how to carefully guide it towards the best it can be, and I leave feeling strong and excited for my next session. I highly recommend Grasie and Pilates Carioca Wellness and Training.

I’ve been gone for a little over a month. Because of my job, I sit in front of a computer all day, so at the end of last year I had neck disc symptoms, so I went to chiropractic. In the end, the doctor said that the answer was exercise, so I found Pilates, which is good for my core. Grasie is really so energetic, yet calm and kind! Since the teacher is also from immigrants, she listens patiently to my poor English, and, most importantly, she is professional in sports! It’s clear where and how to move. Thanks to you, my shoulder has improved a lot now, and I have lost some weight even though I haven’t eaten at all. It’s great that you always check if you are in pain and give priority to what you need. It’s a full way type of exercise more than anything else, but Grasie is amazing at controlling the difficulty. Make sure to stretch without taking out the muscle pain between workouts. Thanks to you, I haven’t stopped and it’s been almost two months now. It’s downtown, so it’s perfectly accessible, and considering that group classes are for up to 3 people, I think it’s cheap compared to other places.
