About Ciarra
"You don't have to be a born athlete to become strong. You just have to start."
Ciarra didn't start training until her mid-30s. Now she certifies instructors in a dozen cities.
The shy kid
She grew up in the Philippines as the shy one. In PE she picked Scrabble over sport.
The pivots
Twenty years in luxury hospitality took her through 8 countries. In 2016 she moved to Malaysia and fell for movement and the community around it. Becoming a mother made strength personal.
The method
Mat Pilates in 2019, then Reformer. She got hooked on how the body moves. Lagree came in 2021. In 2024 she trained with Sebastien Lagree in Los Angeles and became a Master Trainer.
Now
Ciarra is Head of Training Academy at Boostd in Zurich and represents Lagree Middle East. Her work is passing the method on to the next generation of coaches.
How she teaches
Precision, with a big smile.
"I am absolutely obsessed with precision and alignment. BUT I also bring the BIG smiles and good vibes."
She wants Lagree to mean longevity. Her classes are hard and sustainable, and her coaches learn why each cue works.
