About Intuitive Pilates
At Intuitive Pilates, we believe movement is the foundation of healthy, balanced living. Every stretch, breath, and exercise offers more than just physical strength — it’s a way to build awareness, longevity, and confidence in your body and mind.
How We Show Up for You
Our Values
AUTHENTICITY
Every class honours the roots of classical Pilates — not by following trends, but by focusing on what truly matters: quality, integrity, and mindful movement that feels real.
PRESENCE
Each class is an invitation to slow down and reconnect. Through mindful movement, we help you find balance and awareness — fully present in your body, your breath, and the moment.
INCLUSIVITY & BELONGING
Everyone is welcome. We celebrate every body, every background, and every story. Our studio is a space where you can feel seen, supported, and be part of a caring community.
EMPOWERMENT
We see your strength — even when you don’t. Our mission is to help you move with confidence, joy, and trust in your body, both inside and outside the studio.
LIFELONG GROWTH
Pilates is a lifelong practice that evolves with you. We guide you to move with curiosity and care, cultivating a lasting love for movement and wellbeing.
Meet The Founder
Joana is a wife, mother, and Pilates instructor originally from Mexico. After years of working in corporate, Joana realized that this path was not for her and decided to make a career change into the wellbeing field, combining her passions for Pilates and nutrition.
In her early thirties, after experiencing a lower back injury and being diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes, she made major lifestyle changes that led her to discover Pilates and holistic nutrition. Pilates transformed her body and mind, inspiring her to make it a lifelong practice.
Joana is a certified STOTT PILATES® instructor with experience teaching private sessions and group classes. Becoming a mother deepened her passion for nutrition and mindful living, and ultimately led her to open two Pilates studios in the heart of Budapest.
She believes that achieving a healthy, balanced life starts with unlearning limiting beliefs and reshaping our mindset—something that goes beyond fad diets or fitness trends. By understanding what drives our choices and learning the basics of nutrition, whole foods, and movement, we gain the tools to make intuitive, lasting decisions for our well-being.
Our Promise to You
Professional instructors, authentic methods, and real results—no shortcuts, no gimmicks.
At Intuitive Pilates, we promise to consistently teach with clarity, integrity, and warmth. Our studio is a calm space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move with confidence. Our weekly Pilates and Barre schedule supports consistent practice, allowing transformation to become sustainable and deeply felt.
