About Me

Hello.

I am a Pilates nerd and 2nd generation teacher through Jay Grimes (student of Joseph Pilates). I first came into contact with the method in 1998 and Joe's spirit has accompanied me in my daily life ever since. I have been training Pilates teachers since 2004 and have had my own studio in Berlin (Core Pilates) since 2008. Since I met Jay Grimes for the first time in 2014, I have been experiencing a second spring in my work. :-) There is so much to learn and share about the work of Joseph Pilates that I never tire of teaching this lifestyle. It gives me particular pleasure to see how the Pilates Method (originally Contrology) can help people in their daily lives to achieve all of their goals.

Looking forward to meeting you!

My classes will introduce you to the beauty of flowing sequences and how to connect you breath with your movements. I will focus on energizing your body through core strenghth and dynamic flows or more grounding standing series. Explore your body through movement in a light and playful way and improve your flexibility while learning how to use your breath in a healing way.

I'm offering private yoga sessions suitable for one person or small groups.

Prices for small groups can be discussed.

What I like about teaching:
I'm interested in encouraging people to use their breath in an empowering and healing way. Further to that I like the combination of flowing movements and the cultivation of groundedness both with deep Ujjayi Breath. Through hands-on assists I like to support my
students to get a deeper sensation of the pose and experience the borders of their bodies. In my classes I like to hold space for my students to experiment, discover their strength and to overcome fears.

Professional contemporary dancer and teacher in Pilates - Carpet from Stott School I give classes combining my practices and my pedagogy to give a time to yourself to listen to your body and better overcome its obstacles, its wounds and strengthen it! These sessions are for beginners who want to discover this practice as advanced to want to open to other approaches.
I adapt to the needs of the learner.

Structuring of the sessions:
* Following a body analysis, a specific body attention will be brought to each one with Pilates exercises of muscular and skeletal reinforcements, tissue tone, flexibility taking into account the natural position of his body and injuries if there are in a. Emphasis on deep breathing to accompany each exercise!

* Setting in motion by following lines of cardiovascular exercises, coordination, musicality. If there is interest on your part for this sequel and if the time of the session allows it. This allows an even more complete body work.

It is with all the necessary attention, my kindness and a good humor that I will be your guide!
Stop judging yourself and instead take care of yourself through movement and breathing, because these are vital!

The Pilates method was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by a passionate about sport and the human body, Joseph Pilates. It is practiced on the ground, with or without accessories or using devices. It helps develop deep muscles, improve and restore mobility.

The Pilates method helps rebalance the muscles of the body, focusing on the central muscles which are involved in postural balance, and the maintenance of the spine. The muscles which are not very stressed are invited to get back into motion, while the over-stressed and tense muscles are caused to relax.

Hey, I'm manager of yoga instructor Diana. She's from Ukraine, so I'll help with translations and communication.

Hatha yoga - Yoga helps us to strengthen the body from the outside and inside. It helps us to improve our inner state and find balance. It is an opportunity to organize thoughts and focus on the here and now. In addition, yoga strengthens the body and improves mood. It has a positive effect on the flexibility and balance of our body.

What are the benefits of this practice? First of all, it helps to strengthen the human body, build endurance and willpower. This yoga helps to relax and improves the ability to cope with stress. It has a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Due to the diversity of this practice, it improves muscle flexibility. Also, this practice fills the body with energy, boosts immunity and improves your posture.

This practice is suitable for both women and men of all ages. The practice is a bit more complicated than hatha yoga, but it is also suitable for beginners. It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga.

Diana has three years of experience teaching modern dance and yoga individually. She has more than 5 years of teaching experience in groups and dozens of satisfied students. Therefore, she will definitely provide everyone with an individual approach, find the right pace and the necessary asanas.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to text me <3

I am a certified Pilates instructor and am qualified to give group lessons as well as private lessons. My passion for Pilates got ignited by my mother who is a Pilates trainer herself. I used to go to her classes and would always notice how no matter how I felt before a class, I always came out feeling better after. Consequently, after a while I decided that I'd love to be able to gift that feeling to others and that is when I enrolled for a Pilates teacher training course. I have not been able to find any studios near where I live that would take an English-speaking Pilates instructor, so I decided that offering online and in person classes as a freelancer might be a better path for me. This way I can also really give all my focus and attention to each of my students.

🌿 Class Description: Private Yoga – A Practice Designed for You
Private yoga sessions offer a unique opportunity to explore your practice in a way that’s fully tailored to your body, energy, and personal goals. Whether you're new to yoga or seeking to deepen your understanding, these one-on-one sessions provide a space for growth, clarity, and connection—at your own pace.

Each class is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are, physically and emotionally. Depending on your energy level and needs, we may explore:

Hatha Yoga for grounding and balance—a slower-paced practice that builds strength and body awareness through steady postures and breath.

Vinyasa Yoga for flow and vitality—linking breath with movement to energize and awaken the body.

Yin Yoga for deep release and stillness—holding poses for longer periods to access the connective tissues and calm the nervous system.

Restorative Yoga for rest and recovery—using props to support the body in gentle poses that invite deep relaxation.

Pranayama (Breathwork) to regulate energy, reduce stress, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.
.
Whether you're feeling depleted and in need of rest, or energized and ready to move, each session is adapted to support your current state. You’re welcome to join me in my space, or I can come to yours—whatever feels most comfortable.

This is your time to explore, restore, and reconnect—with guidance that’s gentle, intuitive, and grounded in over a decade of experience.

Certified instructor with 15 years of experience across four disciplines: Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Mat Pilates, and Reformer Pilates — a rare combination that lets me design one tailored program instead of switching teachers for each style.

Sessions are fully private and adapted to your goals, fitness level, and any physical considerations, whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced practitioner. I travel to you and bring all necessary equipment (aerial rig setup requires a suitable ceiling point — happy to advise in advance).

Discretion, punctuality, and a calm, focused teaching style for clients who value their time.

Active Age is a mindful movement practice designed to support mobility, balance, body awareness and functional strength as we move through different stages of life.

These 30–45 minute classes combine conscious movement, breathing, mobility exercises, balance work and gentle strength to help you maintain a more comfortable, responsive and confident relationship with your body.

Rather than pushing the body to do more, Be Balance invites you to understand what your body needs today — and learn how to move from there.

Each class is adaptable to your own level and pace, with a focus on quality of movement, joint mobility, coordination, posture, balance and everyday functional movement.

You don't need to be flexible, fit or experienced. You simply need to be willing to listen to your body and move with awareness.
What you can expect

• Improve mobility and range of motion
• Support balance and coordination
• Develop functional strength
• Improve body awareness and proprioception
• Release unnecessary tension and rigidity
• Connect movement with conscious breathing
• Build confidence in the way you move
• Create a more sustainable relationship with exercise

Be Balance Active Age is not about moving difficult.
It is about moving better, with greater awareness and confidence.

Listen to your body. Let it arrive. Keep moving.
