About me

From the dance world to the Pilates method.

Coming from the dance world and having a back injury, I first discovered Pilates in Athens back in 2006, after I finished my MA in Performance Studies in the U.K.

I finished my Pilates training in 2008, taught by Evgenia Papadopoulou, a student of Romana Kryzanowska. My passion for always going deeper into the method has grown ever since.

“Pilates for me is the perfect source of life. Working hard to find your inner strength.”

The Pilates Method

“Contrology is not a system of haphazard exercises designed to produce only bulging muscles.”

Joseph Pilates, 1883-1967

Joseph Hubertus Pilates was the mastermind who created Contrology; what we call today the Pilates method.

The Pilates method is suitable for all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. It develops your strength, flexibility, mobility and endurance, and keeps your body and mind alert and motivated.

About the method
My studio
