E-motion is energy in motion.
Pilates E-Motion, Classical Educational School, by Gloria Gasperi.
The School
Movement that connects body, mind and spirit.
At Pilates E-Motion, movement goes beyond exercise. It becomes a way to connect body, mind, and spirit.
Founded and directed by Gloria Gasperi, the School is dedicated to preserving the essence of Classical Pilates while inspiring students and teachers worldwide.
Its goal is to educate people to feel and understand the work in their own bodies, so they can then use this awareness to truly understand the needs of their clients. Pilates is a mind, body and spirit practice, rooted in Joe’s original vision: everything is connected, our body, our mind, our emotions.

Gloria Gasperi
An Italian teacher and founder of Pilates E-Motion School. “For me, Pilates is not only movement; it’s a way to return to life, to reconnect body, mind, and emotions.”
My story begins
Movement has been part of Gloria since childhood. Sports opened the door to a deeper way of living and expressing herself through the body. At 17 she began teaching movement and soon after discovered Pilates, an encounter that forever changed her path.
From Italy to the world
Curious and determined, she travelled to Holland and then the USA to deepen her studies. In Boston she trained with Clare Dunphy. Later, in Los Angeles, she met her teacher and mentor Jay Grimes, one of the last direct students of Joe and Clara Pilates, and found her true voice as a teacher at Vintage Pilates.
Returning to Italy
Back home, with the desire to spread Pilates in its truest, most authentic form, she founded Pilates E-Motion School in 2013: a place where tradition, science and passion come together, and where students can grow into confident, authentic teachers.
Mission and values
To honour Joe Pilates’ original vision: movement inspired by nature, animals and children, helping us “return to life”, so that every student discovers their truest self through the work.
Gloria Gasperi, Founder & Director, Pilates E-Motion
Tradition, science and passion.
Alongside classical training, students gain access to in-depth workshops with leading professors in anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, exploring why Pilates works the way it does.
Clients become
And will be able to “use” their bodies at their best possibilities.
Teachers learn to observe and feel what the body needs, having access to their instinct and intuition, following the logic of the body.
“To teach, it is enough to know; to educate, you need to be.”
