Yoga&Pilates changed my world.
I want to help you change yours.
Yoga, Pilates and Meditation with me.
My own experience with limitations and chronic pain led me to discover the transformative power of Pilates, especially the Polestar method. Its gentle approach focuses on building strength, core stability, and breath-work, creating a foundation for long-term health and pain-free movement.
As a Polestar Pilates instructor trained in Mat and Equipment, I bring a unique blend of knowledge and empathy to my sessions. I have a deep understanding of spine pathology, having overcome similar challenges myself.
My passion lies in helping clients achieve their goals, whether it's improved posture, increased strength, or pain relief. I meticulously guide clients in achieving correct alignment, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all levels.
Through my work with Polestar Pilates International, Complete-Physio, I gained extensive experience in rehabilitation programs and injury management. Currently, in collaboration with Ann De Vos at Pilates Living N16, I create personalized private and semi-private sessions tailored to your specific needs.

While a childhood dream of becoming a ballerina remained unfulfilled, the desire for movement and expression blossomed differently. For 22 years, I thrived as a hairstylist, connecting with people and bringing them joy through my work. Yet, yoga offered a deeper connection – a path to inner peace and well-being.
My yoga journey began in 2011, initially for physical exercise. But it quickly evolved into a transformative experience. Mindfulness courses and annual meditation retreats deepened my understanding of yoga's philosophy, guiding me towards a balanced and harmonious way of living.
In 2016, I completed my 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training in India and became a certified Meditation Teacher. My teaching style blends elements of Iyengar, Sivananda, and Ashtanga Yoga, tailored to all levels and incorporating Pranayama and Meditation techniques. These practices help students connect deeply, addressing underlying issues and insecurities.
A 2017 spine injury presented a significant challenge in my life. The limitations it imposed fueled a determination to explore movement further. This led me to train with Polestar Pilates International (Level 3 Mat & Comprehensive Pilates practitioner) and Heartcore Pilates London (Reformer Pilates). This experience not only aided my recovery but also broadened my understanding of movement and body mechanics.
Today, as a Yoga, Comprehensive Pilates Teacher and Mentor in Training for Polestar UK, I can say that I am definitely passionate about sharing the transformative power of movement. I assist UK international educators during the Teacher Training courses, demonstrate movements, guide students throughout their learning journey, and mentor private sessions. Happiness is indeed an internal journey, and yoga and Pilates offer powerful tools for self-discovery and well-being. Whether you seek personal growth or professional support, your journey to a better life begins today.

What People Say

Paola is an amazing person. She is knowledgeable, fun, and motivates you to improve your posture. I am grateful for her support.

Paola is wonderful! I was a total beginner at Pilates and experiencing lower back issues, but with Paola’s help, I’ve seen such great improvement in my posture, strength, and general well-being. Paola offers you carefully tailored sessions that help you improve with confidence. She’s also incredibly fun, warm, and approachable, not to mention very patient—this all helps you develop at a pace that’s matched to your experience/goals. I really cannot recommend her highly enough.
Melissa R.
I’ve had Paola for one-to-one and group sessions for the past two years. She has had an incredible impact on my life, having suffered from lower back issues. She has strengthened my body and mind, helping me better understand how to help myself and giving me back the confidence I lost in my body. Paola’s most significant strengths are her professionalism, empathy towards your pain and making a sore subject for some a light-hearted and fun exercise. Her level of enthusiasm for her job is consistently positive, and you can tell she truly loves what she does; she loves helping people heal.
