Caroline Ponto
Founder: Pilates Instructor and Biomechanics Coach (UK & Portugal)
Co-Founder of Flow de Vida
Caroline's professional fitness journey began at age 18 when she trained to become a gym instructor. Prior to discovering Pilates, Caroline spent 8 years delivering yoga, circuits and personal training sessions in body building gyms, leisure centres and private health clubs across London and the South East.
Understanding hypermobility and severe low back pain rehabilitation personally (following painful pregnancies and traumatic childbirth), led her to pursue an Advanced Diploma in Mat Pilates. This was followed by GP Exercise Referral and specialism in Exercise for Low Back Pain, also with Future Fit.
With an additional 8 years hands-on Pilates teaching experience, personal rehab post-COVID and twins (!) and a further diploma in Biomechanics Coaching, her focus shifted away from health clubs towards community classes and private coaching at her home practice.
Caroline has opened opportunities for her clients to deepen their Pilates knowledge with weekend workshops and by collaborating with other wellness professionals, to curate local luxury day retreats in rural Sussex and escapist eco-retreats to the heart of Portugal.
Her emphasis is on clear instruction, moving without pain and connecting the mind with the body, to help people create strong, aligned and resilient bodies. Caroline continues her learning journey with anatomy trains, fascia and pelvic floor health to best guide her clients so they can live, move and breathe with ease and vitality.
