Our Trainers

Silvia

Silvia is profoundly amazed by human nature and movement. Her interest in various disciplines - classical ballet, gymnastics, Capoeira and functional training amongst others - made her realize how essential Pilates is to strengthen body awareness and discover one’s full potential. She teaches Pilates as a universal language to maintain a strong brain to muscle communication at every life stage. So during her sessions expect your body to be more 'talkative' than ever, and be ready to listen to what it has to say! She will support you to stay aware, move safely and efficiently.

Silvia qualified as a Comprehensive Pilates Teacher at Body Art Science International Pilates (BASI) and expanded her repertoire to the use of Reformer equipment as well as mat work. Her technique aims to help restore body awareness by performing small, precise and highly effective movements. Silvia’s sessions challenge your mind to focus on every inch of your body, and she will welcome you with a huge Italian smile and positive energy.
