You too can have simple happiness with a fit body and calm mind
Hi, I am Simona, a certified Mat Pilates instructor
My classes are based on traditional Joe Pilates principles. I teach in creative ways, always aiming to find a good balance between the original mat repertoire, my student’s needs and abilities, and the latest research.
Pilates is a holistic approach to physical fitness that focuses on enhancing full body awareness and control. It has many benefits, but overall it makes you leave each class feeling stronger, taller and more epic. To me, what sets Pilates apart from other forms of exercise is the focus on movement from the centre and the attention to detail, which takes time to master.

HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS
“I’ve joined Simona’s Pilates classes in May 2023 and have really enjoyed them. Although there is obviously a basic structure to the lesson there is always variation and variety in the exercises which keeps the course enjoyable. Simona is so knowledgeable and made me love Pilates! She is a very good instructor and I really recommend her classes!!”
— Katerina S.
“I started attending Simona’s Pilates class as I was suffering from hip pain. Simona noted this in the induction process and mixed hip exercises into the sessions. Simona was very good at demonstrating and guiding individuals so they had the correct body position and limb placement for each exercise. Following only a few weeks of classes my hip flexibility and strength were noticeably improved, as well as my core strength and balance. Would highly recommend Simona as a Pilates teacher. ”
— Mike W.
“I suffer with vertigo and Pilates has helped me with balance and mental control. Simona is extremely attentive, and always ensures that I am safe and feeling comfortable in all exercises.”

“Simona's class really helped me with my back pain and I felt more relaxed”
— Azar E.
“I had not done Pilates before and I was very anxious to be starting something like this in my 60’s. Simona was so welcoming and made me feel at ease in her class. She showed me exercises that were for my level and gave me the confidence to keep going and improve. I found her very knowledgeable about anatomy, she explained things and demonstrated very well. I found Pilates a great help in increasing my core strength and it has helped my sore feet and joints. Thank you for being so encouraging Simona.”
— Catherine W.
“Simona's class helped me gain balance and strength in areas of my body that were weak. I felt energised at the end of the sessions.”
