MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Pilates is more than just exercise — it is a mindful movement practice that builds strength, balance, and control. Through precise movements and focused breathing, it helps you reconnect with your body and achieve a sense of harmony and well-being.

Hi, I’m Maria and I am a Pilates instructor.

With over 25 years of experience in the fields of fitness, Pilates, and therapeutic movement, my work is dedicated to helping people reconnect with their bodies through intelligent and mindful movement.

Experience & Background

I hold a degree from the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science at the University of Thessaloniki, and I am also a graduate of a private Fitness School in Thessaloniki. Over the years, I have specialized as a Pilates Instructor and Movement Therapist, focusing on restoring functional movement, improving posture, and strengthening the body through scientifically informed and therapeutic approaches.

Professional Experience

My professional journey includes the ownership of Pilates PowerHaus Studio (2012 – 2015) and long-term collaboration with Pilates Yoga Body Science Studio (2006 – 2026).
Committed to continuous education, I have trained internationally with distinguished teachers in anatomy, kinesiology, movement therapy, fascia training, and breathwork.

My philosophy is rooted in awareness, precision, and respect for the body's natural intelligence. Through movement, breath, and deep understanding of biomechanics, my goal is to help each individual restore balance, build strength, and experience freedom of movement.
