The benefits
Why do Pilates
Better posture
Useful if you spend long hours sitting, at a desk or in the car: you learn to stand tall without effort.
Toning
A more toned stomach, glutes and legs, with no weights and no impact on the joints.
Core and stability
A strong centre that protects your back in everyday movements, from lifting a bag to playing with your kids.
Mobility
Freer joints and smoother movements, class after class.
Body awareness
You learn to move well, with control and without unnecessary tension.
Who it’s for
Pilates is for you if…
- you’ve never done Pilates;
- your back is often stiff or tired;
- you work long hours sitting down;
- you want to tone up without high-impact exercises;
- you want to improve posture and mobility;
- you already play other sports and want a complementary workout.
Every exercise adapts to your level: you start from where you are.

Matwork, Reformer & Props · 4P Dynamic Pilates Program specialisation
I came to the Method 12 years ago to manage the symptoms of a congenital scoliosis. Wanting to share the same benefits I experienced myself, I chose to dedicate my work to spinal health and postural education, combining toning, muscle strengthening and integrated mobility. In recent years I’ve guided students through individual and group programmes, structured to train the body in an intelligent, precise and dynamic way.

Before you start
FAQ
I’ve never done Pilates, can I start?
Of course. You start with the basics: breath, centre activation and simple movements. Every exercise has variations suited to your level.
What’s the difference between Pilates and Yoga?
Pilates focuses mainly on strengthening the centre, posture and movement control. Yoga combines postures, breath and relaxation, with a more meditative focus. They’re complementary. Discover our Yoga class.
Does Pilates help with back pain?
It can help strengthen and mobilise the back. In case of pain or medical conditions, though, it’s best to speak with your doctor and your teacher first.
Is there an age limit?
No, the class is open to people of any age and fitness level. If you have specific pain or issues, talk to the teacher before starting.
What should I bring?
Abbigliamento comodo e calzini antiscivolo, oppure puoi allenarti a piedi nudi. Scrivici prima della prova per sapere se portare il tappetino.
How do I book a trial class?
