Science-led movement.
Expert-led change.

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.

01.

We assess before we teach

Every journey starts with a postural assessment — so we understand your body before we begin. It’s how we personalise your path from day one.

02.

We build through structure

You’ll follow a level-based progression, guided by trained instructors who support your development with consistency, challenge, and care.

03.

We train with purpose

We use professional-grade equipment to support your form, activate deeper muscles, and move you forward — safely and effectively.

This studio is great, I highly recommend them. I was brand new to reformer pilates and they are very friendly, have a great selection of classes from classic to athletic & even barre. The classes are challenging and rewarding and the instructors are brilliant. I've seen great improvement in my strength and flexibility since I started. If you're thinking about trying this place or looking for a studio don't hesitate to try here.

I've been attending classes at the West Kensington Studio since it opened late last year - as a local it is brilliant to have such a lovely studio nearby. All of the regular instructors I've had the pleasure of being in class with (in particular Claudia and Anna R.) are excellent. The classes feel personalised, informative and professional, the studio is a great space.

I can't praise the El Studio enough! The equipment, the instructors and the management are all top notch. All helped me to stick with the exercising through some dark moments of my life. Can't recommend enough.

Have been with Anna and team for two months now and absolutely love it. Anna is a wonderful instructor. Reformer has helped me so much as I am a competitive weightlifter and cyclist. Would recommend Pilates to anyone and everyone!

Without a doubt the best Pilates in London! I’ve been a member for a few months and have been able to attend classes at both the wembley park and kensignton olympia studios. The atmosphere in the studios is so lovely- bright, clean spaces with soothing music during classes. All of the teachers provide really detailed instruction and they pay attention to our needs e.g if we have pain in some areas and correcting our form if necessary. I was a total beginner when I joined and now in level 2. I’m way stronger now and closer to my goals.

I signed up to their introductory package to see if it would sort out my sciatica and now I am hooked. The space is bright and light. Silvia is an amazing teacher, who pushes us to our individual maximums. The classes are tough but I leave feeling invigorated and am getting noticeably stronger.

Excellent pilates studio with great instructors

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

Have more questions? Get in touch.
  • 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?

    1. Remote photos – Before your first visit you’ll upload two simple posture pics via the app (takes under a minute).
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

  • How do I book a class?

    1. Schedule page – choose your studio and hit Book next to any class.
    2. el Estudio app – book, cancel, or wait‑list on the go. Both options take you to our secure Mindbody checkout. Need help? Call or email and we’ll book it for you in seconds.
