FOUNDER, DESIGNER, INSTRUCTOR: MARISA CERVERIS

Marisa, a dedicated practitioner of Pilates for nearly four decades, brings a wealth of experience to her role as the founder and owner of our studio. Her journey in Pilates began as an essential component of her training with The New York City Ballet.

With a career that took her around the world, performing with various professional dance companies, Marisa had the opportunity to immerse herself in different styles of Pilates practice, deeply influenced by her background in dance. She studied with several Pilates elders, including those directly trained by Joe Pilates himself.

Her training with Balanced Body and master trainer Ellie Herman is complemented by her continuous study with teachers both locally and internationally. At our studio, Marisa’s expertise and passion for Pilates guide our clients toward a path of strength, flexibility, and inner empowerment.
