Welcome to El estudio
Movement guided by science, built around you
At el Estudio, Pilates is more than movement — it’s intelligent training for how your body should function, feel, and move through life. Blending anatomy, neuroscience, and expert hands-on guidance, we lead you through purposeful sessions that build lasting strength and body awareness.
Whether you’re pre or postnatal, desk-bound, or simply ready to move better, we meet you exactly where you are. No mirrors. No pressure. Just real attention, expert instruction, and a clear path forward — in a space built for focus, trust, and transformation.
Our philosophy
A studio built on trust, a method that meets you
At el Estudio, we combine contemporary Pilates principles with modern exercise science and purposeful equipment. Each session follows a structured path, designed to strengthen, align, and retrain your body — not just exhaust it.
Using Reformers, Towers, Cadillacs, and a wide range of specialised props, we challenge your body in new, intelligent ways. You’ll engage deeper stabilising muscles, improve posture, and build functional strength from the inside out.
Personalised. Progressive. Proven.

What people say about us
The people behind the method
Led by experience.
Driven by care.
At el Estudio, every class is led by instructors deeply trained in anatomy, biomechanics, and intelligent progression — but also in the art of human connection.
Founded by international educator Laura Pelinski, our studios bring together a team of movement experts who care about doing things right — with structure, precision, and purpose.
That’s why we don’t just deliver classes. We guide people — and we build bodies that last.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be flexible or fit to start?
Absolutely not. Most people walk in feeling tight, desk‑bound, or simply “out of practice.” Level 1 classes rebuild healthy movement from the ground up: conscious breathing, core activation, joint alignment. All you need is a body that’s ready to learn. We supply the structure, guidance, and gentle progressions that make everything feel possible—no splits, crunches, or Insta‑fitness required.
Is it safe for postnatal recovery or if I’m over 50?
Yes—this is one of our specialties. Our instructors hold additional certifications in postnatal rehabilitation and age‑inclusive movement. We focus on core and pelvic‑floor reconnection, bone density, joint stability, and sustainable strength. Every exercise can be adapted for your energy level, comfort, and any medical guidance you bring with you.
What happens in the postural assessment?
- Remote photos – Before your first visit you’ll upload two simple posture pics via the app (takes under a minute).
- Studio check‑in – We observe how you stand, breathe, and move. No judgement, no tape‑measures—just an expert eye on spinal curves, alignment, and muscle firing patterns.
- Personalised roadmap – We use those findings to set spring loads, choose props, and give cues that make sense for your skeleton, not a generic template. It’s quick, gentle, and 100 % about function, not appearance.
What makes this different from other Pilates or fitness classes?
Most studios queue a playlist and hope you keep up. We do the opposite:
- Contemporary Pilates + modern science – biomechanics, applied neurology, spinal rehab.
- Level‑based progression – every class builds on the last, so you improve without guessing.
- Mirror‑free, small‑group coaching – instructors see you and adjust in real time.
The result? Intelligent movement that lasts—and a body that feels better outside the studio, too.
Will I feel a difference in three classes?
Almost everyone does—often sooner.
- After Class 1: lighter posture, easier breathing.
- By Class 3: noticeably less shoulder/hip tension, stronger core engagement, and a grounded sense of confidence.
These first sessions aren’t a “quick fix”; they’re the foundation for long‑term change, and you’ll feel that shift immediately.
What happens after the intro pack?
At the end of class 3 your instructor reviews your goals, progress, and comfort level, then recommends the best next step—whether that’s Level 2 membership, a class pack, or a few private sessions for deeper focus. No pushy sales, just a clear roadmap if you’d like to continue.
