Cristina Ramos is a dancer and certified Pilates instructor from Miami, Fl.

Cristina first fell in love with Pilates while earning her BFA in Dance from Florida State University. There she learned the importance of conditioning the body for injury recovery and prevention for dance. While living in New York City, Cristina became certified in Pilates at Balanced Pilates learning both Classical and Contemporary repertoire. Her teaching style combines anatomical awareness with a good joke.


With love,
Cristina
