About
Meet Lena
I'm a Classical Pilates instructor based in London, born and raised in Greece. My journey with Pilates began when I moved to London ten years ago, simply as a way to move my body — and it quickly became so much more.
What started as a personal practice turned into a deep passion for teaching. I've trained extensively in the Classical Pilates method, working with the full range of apparatus — from the Reformer and Cadillac to the Wunda Chair and Ladder Barrel.
While my foundation is Classical, I believe it's essential to adapt the method to today's bodies. The world progresses, and so does research — and the bodies that live in it move differently than they did decades ago. I draw on modern understanding to evolve the work, with a particular focus on pelvic floor health, alignment, and functional strength.
I believe that great teaching meets you where you are. Whether you're stepping onto a mat for the first time or refining an advanced practice, my goal is to create a space that is challenging, supportive, and deeply connected to how your body moves and feels.
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me at a beach, reading a book, or dog-sitting.
Philosophy
How I teach
Classical Roots
My teaching is rooted in the Classical Pilates method — precise, challenging, and deeply connected to breath. I honour the original work while bringing it into the present.
Modern Understanding
Bodies today move differently, and so should the way we train them. I draw on current research and what I see working with real bodies every day to adapt the method with care.
Made for You
The result is movement that feels both grounded in tradition and entirely relevant to you. I meet every client where they are and build from there.
