Lena is an amazing teacher with a flexible approach to Pilates and exercise, which she will adjust depending on the needs of her classes. She helped me recover from injuries and I would thoroughly recommend her.

Having enjoyed Pilates for over a year now with Elena, in person, and on Zoom, I can wholeheartedly recommend her classes. Each session is always varied and Elena explains and instructs you through each movement in detail. A real treat for one's well-being.

Elena has been instrumental in helping me avoid lower back problems. Her dedication and professionalism shine through - she really does care about getting it absolutely right. You get the sense she's always working on the latest advice and never standing still with her programme. She is able to meet the needs of a range of abilities and is sensitive to those differences. Its been great to be part of a class that continued from a face to face course locally. However, everyone is very friendly and welcoming so I'd advise you to come along and give it a go!

Elena is the ultimate professional. We work without stopping for the entire lesson. She varies the exercises constantly. Her attention to detail is remarkable. She scrutinises what we are doing and gives individual feedback. Her knowledge of her craft is very impressive and she is constantly attending training courses to enhance her knowledge and practice.I bless the day I came across her and have been working with her for years. She has made the Corona experience a chance to really improve physical strength and flexibility. I attend 3-4 lessons a week.

I have been going to Elena’s classes for 3 years.The classes keep my body stronger, supple and balanced, and my body and mind relaxed. Every class is different so you feel each part of your body awakening. I have gone to several gyms and Pilates teachers in Richmond over the years and without doubt Elena has surpassed them all. She is professional and also fabulous fun - very focused and sympathetic to each persons requirements. Highly recommend Elena’s online classes and face to face at Shene Fitness Centre!

Elena's classes are brilliant for all ages and standards of flexibility and mobility. Her knowledge of anatomy links to everyday movements - teaching focuses on specific techniques to ensure best practices with posture, breathing and suppleness. Personally, being of a certain age" I enjoy understanding about the importance of how to keep your body moving better in a safe manner - Elena's classes are focused

I discovered Elena a couple of years ago. What an amazing find! She is simply put the best Pilates teacher I’ve ever had. Her knowledge of our anatomy is so thorough and complete. She explains and guides you through each exercise so expertly. She really pays attention to her pupils and corrects you when doing it wrong, it turns out I was doing a few crucial things incorrectly before. This is very key and prevents any injury. I’m 49 and I’ve now got my 71 year old mother doing classes. It has helped her massively with her posture and acid reflux she was suffering with (from a hiatus hernia). I need Elena in my life going forward to keep my mobility optimum. Pilates can make a huge difference when done correctly.

Excellent Pilates instructor, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you, Lena, for helping me to connect with my body!

Lena has been my pilates instructor since March. I attend both her group sessions and have one-to-one classes. She has an incredible understanding of my own personal needs and has really helped me re-develop my core. She's super-professional and is always thinking ahead to what would support me with a personal programme. Whether you're part of a class or having individual tuition you feel that Lena is looking after you 150%.

I have only recently taken up Pilates and now wish that I had discovered it years ago! In a short time, it has made a real difference to my overall health and well-being. Elena is a truly inspiring teacher - her enthusiasm is infectious! Her depth of knowledge and her passion for her subject really shine. Just - brilliant!
