Her classes are just perfect - she guides you through each exercise, focusing on each individual's needs and giving the right attention to both mental and physical health.

Highly recommended - grazie mille Lena!

Fantastic experience: Lena is an outstanding Pilates instructor. I have been found weekly 1:1 sessions with Lena for 3 years. Since March 2929 twice weekly online. My core strength, flexibility, balance and muscle control have improved progressively, and hugely over time. The impact on my posture and overall appearance has been remarked on by many family members and friends. An activation session before each Pilates session ensures that all my muscle groups are firing properly before the stretching exercises begin.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Pilates with Lena weekly for over two and a half years. There are certain exercises/activation that always form part of the routine. However, Lena takes great care to introduce new challenges for every class. She was careful to establish my limitations/state of health/old injuries with me when I started, and always keeps these in mind. Lena is expert, dynamic, positive and fun. She runs different classes through the week (via Zoom at the moment) so it is easy to build attendance into your routine. Lena has built my awareness of how my posture and fitness contribute to my overall health. I am happy to recommend Pilates with Lena!
