Thalita is a former Portuguese and literature teacher who started her journey in movement four years ago when she took her first aerial silks class. She's been passionate about it since then.

Pilates has been her guiding light, transforming her life and improving her overall health and well-being. Because she had a transformative path in her life through Pilates, she wants to share it with anyone looking to enhance their strength and potential by creating a supportive and inclusive environment.
