Instructors
Marjan Farahanipour
I have been a Pilates instructor since 2012. To me, Pilates is so much more than exercise. It truly is a way of life. It changes the perspective of those who do it. In my reformer practise, I combine traditional Pilates movements – which isolate specific muscles individually – with fitness routines – based on performing slow movements – that together employ many muscle groups, with simultaneously reduced rest times between exercises.
Nella Novy-Johnson
Nella brings a feel-good atmosphere to every class, always greeting you with a warm smile and positive energy. Her teaching focuses on breath, strength, and tuning into each individual’s needs, recognizing that we all vary day to day.
Passionate about Pilates since 2012, Nella deepened her commitment by becoming a certified instructor in 2022 through the London Pilates Academy, with YMCA and CIMPSA accreditation. With over 20 years of teaching experience in the arts, she seamlessly blends her love for Pilates with her extensive teaching background to inspire and empower her students on their personal journeys.
