María Victoria Rivera




NYC based, born and raised island girl from Puerto Rico. My passion for pilates began in my early twenties during a time in my life where my anxiety was trigerred and manifested itself in physical pain. As I continued my pilates practice juggling between mat and reformer I overcame my physical pain, learned I have scoliosis, and, most importantly, improved my mental health by learning how to truly embody a mind-body connection. Seven years after being a pilates student, I decided to start my journey as a pilates instructor.

My practice prioritizes functional movements, breath, and financial accesibility. My priority is to provide a space where all bodies feel welcome and challenged with precise, controlled movements. My passion as a instrutor is to help guide clients to learn what feels good for their body and mind based on their lifestyle. Pilates has helped me uncover a stronger version of myself, inside and out. Your own path of self-discovery can begin today. Welcome to Studio MV!
