After spending the past three years living in Germany, she’s excited to call Nashville home. A lifelong learner with a curiosity for different approaches to movement, Cris has studied Pilates across a variety of methods and teaching styles, bringing a broad and thoughtful perspective to her practice.

Cris holds an International Comprehensive Pilates Instructor Certification through Balanced Body, completing her training in Athens, Greece, as well as a High-Intensity Reformer Pilates Instructor Certification through The Studio Modern Pilates.

She teaches both private sessions and group classes, bringing the same thoughtful, individualized approach to every setting. Whether working one-on-one or leading a group, Cris creates intentional, challenging, and engaging sessions that meet clients where they are while helping them build strength, confidence, and a deeper connection to their movement.

Beyond her formal certifications, Cris continues to deepen her knowledge through ongoing workshops and advanced education. Her teaching is grounded in classical Pilates principles while incorporating modern movement science and insights from the different methods and instructors she has learned from along the way.
