Caroline Sampayo Pilates

Caroline Sampayo is a Pilates instructor in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance. Caroline’s love of dance led her to Pilates, where she soon found her body transformed with newfound strength, stamina, control, and balance.

In 2023, Caroline relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, to begin her training under Clare Dillon-Palma, where she earned her 500 hour Comprehensive classical Pilates certification through Peak Pilates. She has instructed at premier classical studios including Pilates of Greenville in South Carolina and Delfina Pilates in Delray Beach, Florida. These experiences allowed her to refine her teaching and advance her knowledge of the Pilates method.

Proud to remain a lifelong student, she travels across the country to attend workshops with some of the world’s leading Pilates instructors, continually expanding her knowledge and skillset.

In 2025, Caroline returned to her hometown to open Caroline Sampayo Pilates, located at 4646 West Main Street in Kalamazoo.
