“Corinne is absolutely the best pilates instructor I have worked with over the years. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable in the aspects of pilates movement/physiology for the benefits of the body, but she is also amazing at creating an atmosphere that is so soothing and calming while yet powerfully energetic for the body and mind, allowing the space for the best workouts no matter what type of class she is guiding. It is who she is and her own energy and not just her expertise and many years of experience that brings such a wonderful ambience; making it so much more than just a "pilates class" for EVERY single class she teaches. Corinne caters each class to the needs of each person and our personal needs for any given day, as our bodies feel so different from one day to the next. She also gives the needed modifications and supports, while also giving hands on guidance (if we want) to make sure the movements are the most beneficial results to our bodies. Her visual and verbal prompts are excellent, and her classes are different, creative and challenging each time. I end each of her classes always feeling strengthened and energized and better physically and mentally than before I walked in, no matter how crappy I might have felt before class! I think her decades as a dancer allows her to be very creative with the movements she instructs and there is a peaceful intensity of focus and flow in each class. And honestly for me, it is the ambience of the WHOLE package she generates that sets her classes distinctly apart from other pilates classes. You have to simply meet Corinne and just try a class for yourself and you will know what I mean!
Also I have received the FST many times from Corinne and they have been amazing at realigning the body; taking out the kinks, allowing for smoother movement and an overall positive energy and a lightness in the movement of the body. Receiving a FST treatment from Corinne after a pilates session with her is an amazing combo for the body and mind!”

“Corinne will undoubtedly make you sweat, pulse, and push you to do your best in an empowering and safe space. She is extremely knowledgeable and always listens to what your body needs. If you need a light, stretchy day, you'll get that. If you want a fast-paced booty-burning session, she will make that happen. Corinne easily makes adaptations as necessary to ensure safe and pain-free movement. She provides demos and ensures proper form. I look forward to my weekly private sessions with Corinne. We have created a beautiful rhythm moving together for the past 5 years! Corinne is extremely encouraging and uplifting, challenging, and has a unique gift to make others feel better - physically and mentally. Her kind heart shines in all she does and she cares deeply about all of her clients. I always leave my sessions having more energy in my body and mind than I did when I walked in!”

Corinne has been my Pilates instructor for over five years now. I had heard that Pilates provided a good overall body workout, and boy does it ever! She did an outstanding job catering our sessions to where my ability was. I was so impressed with how knowledgeable she was, how she was able to convey it, how effective the workouts were, and how fun she made them!
Three years ago once I was discharged from a near fatal hospital experience with Covid then I continued my rehabilitation through Pilates with Corinne. It was amazing how much Covid had impacted my body and endurance. Doing Pilates made such a big difference to my full recovery.
Corinne has recently opened her own studio in a neat part of North Park. Because of what an outstanding instructor she is I have followed her to her new studio. I have heard that other clients love her so much that they have done the same.
Not only is she the best instructor that I have ever experienced, but in her new studio she has created a very uplifting space.
If I could give Corinne and Rhythm Ritual Pilates more than five stars then I would!

“I am a 73 yr old woman who is not athletic nor very physically active. I also have severe scoliosis. 25 years ago, after realizing that I had to get serious about my fitness, I discovered Pilates. I found it to be the best exercise for my body, as well as fun and enjoyable. 4 years ago, I moved to San Diego and, happily, found Corinne Olson, an expert instructor. Throughout my years doing Pilates, I've had many instructors but I never had one as well trained, accurate, friendly-but-firm, caring, observant, dedicated and delightful as Corinne. I know I am safe and sound in her hands; I get worked well but not beyond my endurance; and, I have a great time every session. She deserves the highest praise and is, without a doubt, the best Pilates instructor in this region.”

“I have been going to Corinne for over a year for both Pilates private lessons and FST (Fascial Stretch Therapy). She is the best Pilates instructor I have worked with in regards to her knowledge of PIlates and body movement, communication skills, ability to read my body and work me appropriately. I came after having spinal surgery and was nervous not to get hurt. She understood and it was perfect the amount she had me work and move. I never felt unsafe.
I had never had FST before and it is wonderful. She stretches you in ways you cannot do yourself. I go in with some aches and pains and come out feeling so much better. I warn you - it is addictive. It is different from a massage because it moves your joints and limbs in ways that actually make changes in your body. Corinne has a gift with her touch and how she feels your body move so that you will benefit from her treatment. It is a treatment. Thank you Corinne.”

“Over two years ago, I began working with Corinne to aid in my recovery from a running injury and build core strength. From day one, I was inspired by her unwavering passion for the practice, a passion that comes from her many years of teaching and practicing herself. As a beginner student, I appreciated her demonstrations of each movement and verbal cueing. I benefited from observing what a movement should look like and having specific imagery conveyed to ensure understanding. 
When life changes forced me to move states away, I was worried I'd miss Corinne's classes' monumental effect on me physically. However, her remote mat classes proved to be just as valuable. If anything, it made me value her more. She is an incredible communicator and passionate about her work. From another time zone, she motivated me to realize my maximum potential. She kept a discerning eye on me to assess my movement and any challenges that required an immediate adjustment or alternative exercise.  She continued to customize my classes for me. 
Corinne's adaptability is truly remarkable. Regardless of the challenges I brought to class, be it a new injury or work stressors, she could always accommodate and leave me feeling whole mentally and physically. 
Corinne is not just a teacher; she is an inspiration. Her journey will ignite your desire to be more, and her teaching will push you to do more. If you're reading this, I assure you that working with her will transform your life. I am incredibly fortunate to have her energy and motivation in my life. Book a class; your journey awaits!”

“I've had the pleasure of training with Corinne for the past two years, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience. When I first started working with her, I was in the early stages of pregnancy, and she customized the workouts to ensure that I felt strong and healthy throughout the pregnancy. Her postpartum exercise routines were also highly effective in helping me regain my strength and fitness after giving birth. Thanks to Corinne's guidance, I now feel stronger and fitter than ever before. Her workouts are challenging, but they always make me feel more energized and invigorated. Corinne's deep understanding of the human body sets her apart, which allows her to create exercises that relax and strengthen muscles, prevent injuries, and promote overall physical and mental well-being. She is the top Pilates instructor in the business, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their fitness and wellness. I hope you have the opportunity to train with her as well!”

“A serious knee injury & needing help with strengthening and balance led me to Pilates with Corinne. She had had an
injury transformed thru Pilates, is a dancer & well studied in this work so I felt confident she could help me.
Corinne is friendly, engaging and calmly focused in her directions. I felt releases in areas of my body I had not been aware of tensing which in turn enabled my body to relax & feel more stable/ coordinated. Her work is deep! In addition, Corrine s lovely studio is softly lit and a soothing place to be.
I am grateful to her for my increased confidence in my strength and balance. Corinne is a Great Teacher!”

“Corinne is truly one of a kind. When I first started Pilates with her I was going through a tough time and her classes helped me more than she knows. Her aura lifts your mood in seconds. Whether it be you're having a hard day or your body is feeling tired Corinne is able to listen to you and make you feel better mentally and physically. She always makes sure you are training correctly so you don't get injured which is so important. You know she really cares and knows what she's talking about. My mom and I will forever be grateful for her and amazing spirit.”

“I have known Corinne for many years. We have worked together as colleagues teaching in the same studio, and I have taken classes with her as her student. She is warm, professional and very knowledgeable about the body. She can give you an incredibly challenging workout, or a gentle and therapeutic workout depending on your goals. The best thing about Corinne is her caring and kind soul. She truly cares about her students and sincerely works with them to achieve their optimum physical and emotional wellness.”

“Corinne is an amazing instructor! I've been seeing her for 2+ years and cannot imagine practicing Pilates with anyone else. Her depth and breadth of knowledge is impressive - every class I am learning new movements and exercises so that I am never bored and always challenged. She listens to your body and tailors the workout accordingly. Great for any body, any age, and any level of experience.”

“My Pilates practice with Corinne has been truly transformative. From the moment I stepped into her studio, I felt welcomed and supported.

“I recently had a session of fascial stretch therapy with Corinne, and the results were amazing! My hips felt much looser and more flexible afterward. The studio was beautiful and calming, creating the perfect environment to relax. Corinne was incredibly kind, gentle, and professional throughout the session, making me feel comfortable from start to finish. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve mobility and overall well-being!”
