    Whether you're looking to build strength, recover from an injury, or simply enhance your flexibility, Pilates offers a holistic approach to achieving a healthier, more balanced body.

    Pre & Postnatal Health

    Pre and postnatal Pilates is a gentle yet effective way for expecting and new mothers to stay active, strengthen their bodies, and support their journey through pregnancy and beyond.

    The method is designed to address the unique needs of the body during and after pregnancy, focusing on core strength, pelvic floor health, posture, and overall mobility.

    With a focus on safe, mindful movement, pre and postnatal Pilates supports both physical recovery and emotional wellness, helping mothers regain strength, confidence, and balance during this transformative time.

    FAMO Fascia Movement & Pilates

    FAMO enhances whole-body vitality and movement freedom through a blend of slow and dynamic exercises, melting poses, and self-massages. These multidimensional sequences soothe or relieve aches and pains, boost mood and immune function, and promote health and resilience. What sets this class apart is its focus on fascia - your body’s most influential connective tissue system. When fascia is well conditioned, muscles, joints, the brain, and internal organs, even gut feelings, function much better.

    Garuda

    Created by James D’Silva, the Garuda Method is a dynamic movement system that blends elements of Pilates, yoga, dance, and tai chi. The method is designed to improve strength, flexibility, and posture, while focusing on fluid, multidimensional movement.

    Garuda uses mat, barre or specialized equipment and a unique range of movements to target deep muscle groups, improve joint mobility, and enhance body awareness. It is both challenging and restorative, offering a full-body workout that strengthens and stretches in equal measure.

About me

Hello, I’m Clara, a proud French mom of two beautiful girls and a passionate Pilates instructor based in Bangkok year-round, and offering summer classes in Comporta, Portugal.

For the past 16 years, Asia has been my home, and it’s where my journey with Pilates began back in 2010. My first Pilates training was truly life-changing. It opened my eyes to the transformative power of mindful movement, and from that moment on, I’ve been fully dedicated to exploring and teaching this incredible practice.

Over the years, I’ve continued deepening my knowledge through extensive training in areas like Fascia movement, pre and postnatal Pilates, and the Garuda method. These teachings have all expanded my understanding of how our bodies move, recover, and thrive.

There’s something incredibly fulfilling about guiding others on their personal journeys of transformation. Whether it’s helping students, in Bangkok or Comporta, improve their strength, flexibility, or simply find balance in their lives, I am honored to be a part of their growth.

“I have noticed significant improvements in my posture, strength and, overall fitness. I had close to no core and now, I am able to do advanced exercises. When I injured my ankle, Clara tailored exercises for me which improved my balance and strongly supported my recovery. Her classes are fun, exciting and the highlight of my week!”
