About Our Studio
Nestled in a cozy neighborhood, our residential studio is a hidden gem. A short tour through the garden sets the tone for your practice. In the studio, natural light bathes the room from the large corner window. The studio blends seamlessly with the surrounding garden – a true retreat. Here, you can enjoy a peaceful and personalized session, with no interruptions or distractions.
​
Our studio is equipped with BASI Pilates apparatus that is beautifully engineered to fit any body type and size. Comfort and smooth action in this state-of-the-art equipment is a true dream to experience. Configuring the equipment is a breeze and frees more time for your session. If you have never worked on BASI, you are in for a treat.
Our GYROTONIC® tower designed by Juliu Horvath, the Gyrotonic creator, and built by Balanced Body is masterful in both functionality and aesthetic. The Gyrotonic tower is the result of many years of design and careful consideration of every element. The Balanced Body tower brilliantly facilitates the work through its integration of responsive handles and cables. Like dancing with a good partner, you need proper feedback and support, and this apparatus is there for you in every way.
​
We have equipped the studio to facilitate most needs but are always open to suggestions that will make your work here more productive and comfortable.
​
It is our sincere hope that you can enjoy your work in this space, leaving you ready and rejuvenated.

The day I tried a GYROTONIC® session, my world changed. In my quest to improve my health with a compromised immune system, I had explored many things over the years. I had significant improvements and believed I had tried it all. It was a complete surprise to me then that the Gyrotonic method would open me to an entirely new level and lead me back to Pilates as well.
​
From the start, the fluid movements of Gyrotonic exercises made me feel centered and calm. It was a refreshing shift from traditional workouts, where I often experienced muscle imbalance and soreness. Gyrotonic exercises brought pure joy, simultaneously strengthening my mind, breath, muscles, and nervous system. I knew I had to share this with others. Under the guidance of master trainer Debra Rose, I soon obtained my certification and started teaching.
My Pilates teacher training soon followed. I was introduced to Pilates at the age of ten by a physical therapist following a school screening for scoliosis. Returning to Pilates, I gained a new appreciation for its principles.
Since then, I have earned my GYROKINESIS® certification and other specialized training. Beginning in 2023, I embarked in my journey with BASI Pilates.
I have taught clients with diverse needs and physical challenges, witnessing firsthand the transformative benefits of these methods in our studio time together. I love how Pilates, Gyrotonic, and Gyrokinesis methods adapt to any body and ability. For those who seek it, this work can be truly transformative.
​
My recommendation? Don’t waste another minute doing exercises that are 'good' for you - Life is far too short. Find the thing that brings joy to your heart – find the right teacher to help you explore and go from there. The good of it will follow, I promise!
