STOTT Pilates Matwork and Refomer Instructor. Available Online for Privates, Duets and Group classes. English and Italian speaking.

I am originally from Rome, where I trained professionally as a contemporary dancer. In 2010, I relocated to London and continued working both locally and internationally as a dancer and choreographer. After years of studying body alignment and movement, becoming a STOTT Pilates Teacher was a natural progression. I love how Pilates can help people improve their everyday life by increasing their body awareness, strength and flexibility. It makes them more centred and grounded, influencing their posture in a very positive way. With great attention to detail and a technical approach, my goal is to welcome my clients into a friendly space, while still pushing their boundaries and focusing on the essence of each exercise

Hi, my name is Marina and in my spare time I like to collect Certificates. 🤭

Officially STOTT PILATES FULLY CERTIFIED!
I completed all the training, finished pilates basically.

Jokes aside, what a journey.

Ten years. Ten years of learning, practicing, teaching, learning some more. Working a million jobs at once, touring as a dancer, working at , working at multiple Pilates studios, online, at clients houses. Choreographing and managing for

Turns out getting back into studying as an adult, while juggling life and work, is not easy.

But hey, here we are.

I couldn’t have achieved this without the help and support of my mentors, colleagues and clients.
Yes, even my clients, they taught me a lot without even realising it ♥️

Talking about Pilates, with all that’s been happening in the world, has been feeling strange, out of touch.

So I apologise for the radio silence of the last few weeks.

“Magician”
A very demanding series on the Cadillac.

I loved training towards my L2 STOTT Full Certification exam, as challenging as it was.

Now ready to sign off and head to sunny places ☀️

Officially OUT OF OFFICE!

Self practice.
As teachers this is crucial.
Feeling the exercises on our bodies, to best guide our clients.
We practice teaching, we practice moving.
Forever learning!

(And it just feels good!)

1. The Spread Eagle, this makes me happy.

2. Pull Up. First take. Lost my alignement, kept flexing at the hips😬 I got too excited! When I started the Cadillac training, I could not move up one millimeter 😂

3. Pull Up. Second take. Tried to correct myself.. it’s a work in progress!

4. Reverse Pull Up. I mean, progress not perfection, right?!

✨ New Class Alert ✨

Starting this June, I’ll be teaching a brand new Advanced Reformer Pilates class at Hampstead.
This is designed for movers who are truly confident at the Intermediate level and ready to explore the full depth of the repertoire.

It isn’t about cardio or heavier resistance. It’s about intricacy, precision, and control. We’ll dive deep into Classical-inspired advanced reformer work, as it was designed.

🌀Expect challenge through technique 🌀Develop even deeper body awareness 🌀Master the control that defines Pilates at its highest level

Not for beginners – this class carries a touch more risk, but with it, greater reward.

🔹 Wednesdays at 7pm 🔹 APPI Clinic Hampstead 
📹 Clips in this post give you a little preview of what we’ll be exploring, featuring me fully focused and trying really hard to pretend it’s effortless 😂
Full disclosure, Teaser is not my friend.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of leading this month’s Staff Class at , and it was such a blast! ✨
🌀
I feel so lucky to work in an environment that truly supports our growth, both as a team and as individuals. Grateful to everyone who joined the session! (Though I know I’ll be getting my fair share of payback soon…)
🌀
I had big plans to capture the whole class in a timelapse video (after quite the struggle with a tripod), but… technology had other ideas!
So, these photos will have to do!

What a night at the Royal Ballet and Opera last night!
Encounters: Four Contemporary Ballets was wonderful.
The Statement by Crystal Pite was my personal highlight of the night, I was blown off.
Still buzzing from such a beautiful evening 🤍
