I was born in Frankfurt and grew up in Greece. There, I was an enthusiastic gymnast for many years and actively participated in artistic gymnastics. Gymnastics was and still is my absolute passion. Alongside gymnastics, I played volleyball and did functional training.

Until 2019, I worked part-time as a group and personal trainer for functional training and fascia training until I discovered Pilates. Many exercises and movements reminded me of gymnastics, and I also discovered other ingenious principles in this method, such as breathing technique and the efficiency of the exercises. The parallels to gymnastics enchanted me, so I first successfully completed the Pilates mat training in 2019, followed by the equipment training in the summer of 2020. Since 2019, I have been dedicating myself to sports full-time.

After numerous workshops and further training courses, I now focus on somatic Pilates, which uses slow execution of exercises to train perception, activate the nervous system, reach the postural muscles, and thereby create new movement patterns. These are important prerequisites for training strength and performance.

I teach with great enthusiasm and dedication and look forward to supporting you in achieving your goals!

I was born in Spain and completed my professional dance training in Valencia, at CENTRO DE DANZA MARI CRUZ ALCALA and CONSERVATORIO PROFESIONAL DE DANZA. After completing my training, I first studied at university and obtained an academic degree, which initially led me down a different career path.

However, I always stayed in touch with my love of dance and trained and taught ballet part-time. My move from Spain to Germany in 2011 brought me even closer to my passion and I became a full-time ballet teacher. Ballet brought me into contact with the classical Pilates system.
Davorka Kulenovic from Pilates New York in Stuttgart was my trainer and mentor on my path to certification as a mat and studio trainer in classical Pilates (2019–2023).

I am delighted to share with you the joy and benefits that the focused movement in the Pilates system can bring to everyone’s mind and body.
I teach in German, English, and Spanish.

I tried Pilates for the first time in 2011 and was immediately hooked. Two years later, I followed my passion, gave up my career in finance, and decided to become a professional Pilates instructor—with the desire to help others benefit from this extraordinary method.

When my family and I moved to Japan in 2017, I took the opportunity to further my education. At a Merrithew Licensed Center in Tokyo, I completed comprehensive STOTT Pilates certification in matwork and on all studio equipment. In addition, I took the “Special Populations and Injuries” course, which deepened my understanding of how to work safely and effectively with people who have special physical needs – whether due to injury, age-related changes, or pre- and postnatal challenges.

I am convinced that you never stop learning in Pilates. My journey has sparked my curiosity about anatomy and biomechanics, topics that I continue to explore through specialist literature, workshops, and further training. They inspire me and keep me up to date with the latest developments in health, exercise, and training.

Over the past ten years, I have taught in Europe and Asia, worked with international communities, and worked in renowned Pilates studios in Tokyo. In 2024, I moved to Frankfurt, where I continue to help people experience the many benefits of Pilates.

For me, Pilates is unique because it strengthens both body and mind: it relieves pain, improves posture, promotes natural movement patterns, and boosts self-confidence. Teaching is my great passion—and it fulfills me to see how my clients feel stronger, freer, and healthier.

I first came into contact with Pilates as a student, and since then, this method has stayed with me.

After the birth of my first child, I became even more involved with Pilates, but initially decided to train as a prevention trainer. Since 2018, I have been giving health courses on a part-time basis and working as a personal trainer. In 2020, I completed my training as a BASI Pilates mat trainer, followed by comprehensive teacher training.

I have been part of Pures Pilates since the end of 2023 and now work full-time as a freelance trainer.

My own Pilates journey is continuously enriched by regular further training and my personal training with international Pilates specialists. I benefit particularly in my work with women from my in-depth knowledge and experience as a pelvic floor and pre- and postnatal trainer.

I am happy to accompany you during the particularly sensitive and important phase before and after birth—an area that is very close to my heart. But even if you are not in this phase of life, I can support you in gaining strength, stability, confidence, and well-being.

My journey to Pilates began for a very personal reason: I wanted to alleviate my pain and find my inner balance again in stressful times. Pilates has been incredibly beneficial for me, not only physically but also mentally. This positive experience motivated me to delve deeper into the method and truly understand its foundations. I trained as an instructor. However, I didn’t want to just jump on the current Reformer bandwagon, so I opted for comprehensive training. This training covers matwork and all Pilates equipment and encompasses the entire spectrum of Pilates. I trained at Polestar, one of the most renowned Pilates training institutes in Germany.

Pilates is my passion today. It makes me happy to accompany people who want more ease, strength, and balance. I want to show them how Pilates can contribute to a healthier and more conscious lifestyle.

For me, Pilates is not only about movement, but also about mindfulness, joy, and personal development—and that is exactly what I want to convey in my classes.

I had my first experience with Pilates as a teenager, when I discovered this special training method at my sports club. After years of training, I developed a desire to help other people rediscover their own bodies.

In 2020, I successfully completed my mat trainer training, and in the summer of 2022, I passed the exam to become an equipment trainer. Since the summer of 2021, I have been teaching mat and wall unit courses for Pilates beginners at Pures Pilates.

For me, Pilates means slowing down, self-confidence, and strength—for anyone who wants to experience movement differently.

As a former professional dancer in theaters in Germany and abroad, I first came into contact with Pilates through dancing.

When I learned about Pilates as a therapeutic method during my physiotherapy studies, I was so enthusiastic about its many effective possibilities that I immediately began training on the equipment while still a student.

It’s wonderful how dancing and my specialization in physical therapy complement each other with Pilates. There is always something new to discover. Pilates has thus become a valuable part of my daily therapy routine and my own training for better health.
