Charisse began practicing Pilates 10 years ago, to recover from a yoga injury. The progress Pilates brought to her path of recovery imparted a profound respect for the intelligence of the Pilates principles and movements. The benefits Pilates brought to her mind and body, injury recovery aside, inspired her to keep practicing for years after. When the owner of her local Pilates studio offered her a job instructing, Charisse jumped at the chance to pursue her appreciation of Pilates in a deeper way and enrolled in Instructor Training courses. Charisse has been teaching Pilates since 2019 and holds Full Certification in Stott Pilates. Charisse is an avid nature lover, spending most of her free time outside with her dog. She enjoys hiking, paddle boarding, swimming, beaches and camping. She is excited to explore the beauty of Florida having just moved here from the West Coast at the end of 2023.
