Hi!
I’m Viviane and I want to welcome you to my online Pilates studio
HOW I HELP YOU
It will be my pleasure to guide and motivate you to achieve a healthier and more active lifestyle, gain strength, mobility and energy, through the movement that Pilates provides.
My philosophy is to teach people to move consciously and guide them to incorporate healthy habits that allow them to get the most out of their lives and their bodies.
Get ready to give your body a boost of energy with me!
Whether you haven't been active in a while, or you train regularly and want to improve your performance: Pilates is for everyone, regardless of gender, race, age, culture or body sizes.
If you want to feel good and improve your health, I'm waiting for you!
My story
Many of my students come to Pilates to relieve pain... and I understand that! Because that's how I started too
I discovered Pilates in 2016 as a last resort to relieve the constant lower back pain I was suffering from, despite being very active and sporty. Since then I’ve never wanted to stop!
Before becoming an instructor, I worked as a criminologist, specialising in gender and race equality. This is a subject I’m still passionate about and inclusivity is one of the core values of my Pilates studio.
Then a diagnosis came along that changed everything: in 2018, after 11 years of suffering disabling pain, fainting spells and hospital admissions, I discovered I had endometriosis, a condition affecting 1 in 10 women.
This situation pushed me to look for a profession where my health was paramount, and where I could help others to improve their health too.
This was my strongest motivation for becoming a Pilates instructor: to prioritise my health and the health of others.
However, my passion for Pilates goes back a little further. As a university student, I started to get acquainted with the fitness industry by working as an administrative and marketing assistant in a Pilates studio, where I also attended classes and was inspired by the instructors. They motivated me and sparked my passion for Pilates. So I finally decided to turn my hobby into my profession.
In 2019 I took the big leap: I quit my previous job and within a month had taken the plunge.
I started training with the internationally renowned STOTT PILATES school, where I became certified as an instructor for Pilates Matwork, Pilates apparatus and Barre.
Viviane Pilates opened in April 2020 and since then I’ve been teaching people around the world, both in English and in Spanish.
For me personally, Pilates is my medicine, both physically and mentally, and that’s what I want to share with my students in every class I teach.FORMACIÓN & CERTIFICACIONES
