This is Pilates — redefined
through care & structure

Welcome to El estudio

Rooted in contemporary Pilates and layered with biomechanics, applied neurology, movement science, injuries and special populations. Our method is calm, clinical, and completely personal.
This isn’t about keeping up — it’s about reconnecting with your body and building strength that lasts.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Laura Pelinski

Educator. Method creator. Guide.

Laura’s journey began in Buenos Aires in 1998 — and continues today in London, where she leads el Estudio with purpose, depth, and passion.
With over 20 years of experience, she has trained instructors, run international conferences, developed professional education, and created a method trusted across the world.


Her approach blends contemporary Pilates with spinal rehab, neurology, and biomechanics — always taught with care, structure, and creativity.
 At el Estudio, she’s built a space where real expertise meets real attention — and where strength is built from the inside out.

This is how
real progress feels

Our method

Structured, 
personalised, and
led by experts.

Our method starts by understanding how your body moves today — so we can guide you toward how it’s meant to move tomorrow.

Each class is built around progression, not performance. We teach clearly, adjust in real time, and support you every step.

What makes our method different

01.

Postural assessment

We begin with a static postural analysis — so we can teach your body, not just a body.

02.

Level-based progression

Our level-based system removes guesswork, follows a clear path that removes pressure — and builds lasting strength.

03.

Equipment with purpose

Reformers, Towers, Chair, and props — always chosen to challenge you intentionally, not randomly.

04.

You’ll always be seen

Small groups. No mirrors. Real-time instruction that meets your body where it is.

05.

We train for real
life

This is movement that carries over — to how you sit, stand, recover, and live.

Our philosophy

More than movement.
A deeper connection

El Estudio was created for people who want more than just a workout. For those who want to move with clarity. With strength. With trust in their own body again.


We guide every client with structure and care — whether you’re starting from scratch or refining years of experience.
Here, movement is education. It’s alignment and control. It’s breathing deeper, standing taller, and walking out feeling like yourself again.


This is Pilates as it should be: intelligent, human, and built around real life.

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.
