Meet Elena

Founder & 3rd Generation Pilates Instructor

Elena discovered Classical Pilates 13 years ago while healing after the birth of her first child. Growing up with hip dysplasia and undergoing multiple surgeries, movement often felt limited. Pilates helped her rebuild strength, realign her posture, and restore ease in her body.

Her passion for Pilates guided her to study under some of the most respected classical instructors worldwide. Today, she brings that experience forward to support every student’s journey, helping them feel stronger, more balanced, and more connected to their bodies.
