BALANCE FOR YOU AND YOUR WORLD
Pilates is never by myself.
It’s what I do with my coach,
and what I do with the machines
Or even how I prepare my routines, sure.
Still Pilates is about how I find my motivations,
about how I feel the world around me
And how I balance myself with it.
Even about how I bond with my daughter.
So there is never an “I” alone.
There is always a world around.
“Everyone is the architect of their own happiness.” – Joseph Pilates
Hello, community! Welcome to IO Pilates.
Hello, community! Welcome to IO Pilates.
After 20 years of working in the press, with the last 15 in television, I made the decision to own a Pilates studio. Why? Because, for many years, it was my refuge from the hardships of the press. Because no other sport succeeded in making me feel less stressed about my neverending to-do lists. The moment I use the Reformer, I no longer feel tension. The world goes quiet. The 55 minutes it takes to perform a session fuel me for 23 hours and 5 minutes. 23 hours and 5 minutes of work, stress, and lack of sleep. I connected with myself the best while doing Pilates. I haven’t felt more harmony between my mind, body, and soul elsewhere. This is why I wanted to own my personal studio. To help you feel what I felt.
Our studio is in Pipera, next to Jolie Ville. It’s located on a more secluded street, it’s intimate and peaceful, just like we wanted it. We wanted refuge from the noise and chaos around us, even if for an hour. IO Pilates is inside an elegant villa with a spacious yard, vegetation, and a pool.
On the ground floor, you will find many machines: Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and Ladder Barrel. This is where the group sessions will take place.
You will find private rooms with bathrooms and lockers on the first floor. They were designed to give you total intimacy.
The loft (attic) is reserved for the playground. We thought about the mothers who want an active lifestyle but have nowhere to leave their children or who like to involve their children in activities that are not permitted by other studios or gyms.
I wanted a kid-friendly studio because I’ve been going to Pilates classes with my daughter since she was 3. It’s a part of our lives, we have nice memories and beautiful pictures. We like to look at those pictures and see how much we’ve evolved, we grew together. I want you to feel the same powerful connection that I felt. It’s wonderful to train with your child and we are ready to train you along with children as young as 3 months old. We have many exercises we can adapt according to their age. You can work out with your baby on your belly or put the child down on the reformer and offer support with your legs. They are safe, there are no potential accidents or risks, and for you, it might be a magical experience.
