Welcome to El estudio Pilates
We retrain how
your body moves
Modern life teaches your body habits it was never built for. Desk hours. Screens. Shallow breath. Disconnection.
At el Estudio we help you unlearn those patterns — and build new ones that support how your body is meant to move.
Through structure, expert attention, and real anatomical understanding, we guide you toward strength that lasts, and movement that feels like your own again.
Our philosophy
The smarter way to reconnect with your body
We’re not a workout trend.
We’re a movement discipline — grounded in anatomy, applied neurology, and over 27,000 hours of teaching experience.
Led by international educator Laura Pelinski, our method blends contemporary Pilates with anatomical precision, clear progression, and focused attention.
It’s science-backed, people-focused, and progress-driven — designed to meet your body where it is, and move it forward with care.
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.

What people say about us
This is for you if…
01.
You sit all day — and feel it in your body
Long hours at a desk can reshape your posture, stiffen your spine, and drain your energy. We help you reverse that — one session at a time.
02.
You’ve tried other classes — but nothing clicked
Gyms. Yoga. Even Pilates. But they felt too fast, too generic, or too intense. This is different — structured, intelligent, and designed to meet your body where it is.
03.
You want to rebuild — safely and sustainably
Whether you’re postnatal, 50+, or simply starting over, we guide you with clarity and care — so you can feel stronger, more aligned, and more in control.
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 quick posture pics via the app.
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 – Those findings guide spring loads, props, and verbal cues that match your skeleton, not a generic template. Quick, gentle, 100 % about function—never appearance.
How is 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 and progress, then recommends a clear next step—Level 2 classes, a membership, or a few private sessions for deeper focus. No pushy sales; just a roadmap if you’d like to continue.
What should I know before class?
- Arrive 10 minutes early—anyone more than 10 minutes late can’t join for safety reasons.
- Wear fitted clothing and grip socks (sold in studio). Avoid zips, metal buttons, heavy fragrance, and loose jewellery.
- Bring water; we have a refill station.
- Need to cancel? Do so in the app or online 12 hours in advance. Some packs include one free late cancel grace—email us before start time to use it.
How do I book a class?
Both routes take you to our secure Mindbody checkout. Prefer human help? Call or email and we’ll book it in seconds.
