About
me

I’m Iris, a Peak Pilates-certified classical Pilates instructor with expertise in mat, reformer, and other apparatuses. I have a professional background in economics but since childhood movement has always been a passion of mine. My career in the corporate world, combined with personal health challenges led me to reassess my approach to exercise and over well-being, that’s when I discovered Pilates and It instantly resonated with me. It sparked a profound transformation in me both mentally and physically inspired me to pursue Pilates full time. Outside of teaching and practicing Pilates, as a mom of two boys and a wife, I truly value quality time with my family. Whether it’s exploring new countries, trying different cuisines, or simply enjoying everyday moments together, those experiences fill me with joy. Additionally, I love to paint, attend concerts, and savor a good dinner or game night with friends.  

Why I
practice?

I practice Pilates because it makes me feel like the best version of myself. It’s not just about movement—it’s about feeling good in my body, having energy for my kids, and knowing that I’m taking care of myself in a way that will benefit me for years to come. Pilates helped me heal and find that balance in both movement and daily life. It constantly reminds me of my resilience and what my body is truly capable of.

Why I
teach?

I teach Pilates because I’ve experienced firsthand how transformative it can be—both physically and mentally. Pilates gave me a new perspective on movement, strength, and overall well-being. It helped me reconnect with my body in ways I never had before. Now, I’m passionate about guiding others on their own journey to move, feel better and ultimately live a better life.
