Carissa

Pilates Instructor

Carissa is a multifaceted instructor specializing in dance and STOTT Pilates; prior to moving to Hong Kong, she served as a ballet instructor for a wide range of students from children and pre-professionals to adult learners.

Drawing from a lifelong dance practice, Carissa's approach to Pilates can be articulated as a seamless fusion of artistry and functional strength. Years of rigorous dance training originally introduced her to Pilates as a means to sustain the physical demands of performance. What began as a tool for recovery quickly became an essential discipline, as the shared principles of breath, precision, and control made Pilates feel like a natural extension of her artistry.
