Science-led movement.
Expert-led change.

Welcome to El estudio

Movement guided by science, built around you

At el Estudio, Pilates is more than movement — it’s intelligent training for how your body should function, feel, and move through life.
Blending anatomy, neuroscience, and expert hands-on guidance, we lead you through purposeful sessions that build lasting strength and body awareness.

Whether you’re pre or postnatal, desk-bound, or simply ready to move better, we meet you exactly where you are. No mirrors. No pressure. Just real attention, expert instruction, and a clear path forward — in a space built for focus, trust, and transformation.

Our philosophy

A studio built on trust, a method that meets you

At el Estudio, we combine contemporary Pilates principles with modern exercise science and purposeful equipment. Each session follows a structured path, designed to strengthen, align, and retrain your body — not just exhaust it.

Using Reformers, Towers, Cadillacs, and a wide range of specialised props, we challenge your body in new, intelligent ways. You’ll engage deeper stabilising muscles, improve posture, and build functional strength from the inside out.

Personalised. Progressive. Proven.

01.

We assess before we teach

Every journey starts with a postural assessment — so we understand your body before we begin. It’s how we personalise your path from day one.

02.

We build through structure

You’ll follow a level-based progression, guided by trained instructors who support your development with consistency, challenge, and care.

03.

We train with purpose

We use professional-grade equipment to support your form, activate deeper muscles, and move you forward — safely and effectively.

I’ve been attending Pilates classes at El Estudio for nearly three years now and I can’t recommend these classes enough! When I first started I had zero flexibility, a non-existent core and terrible posture. What makes these classes so special is the attention to detail and corrections by Laura and the other instructors during the class. There’s a precision to Pilates, and these small adjustments help you with your form, so you that you feel each exercise in the correct manner. With regular classes, you start to see progression quickly in your ability and also in your body. There’s a beautiful Pilates community, it’s a friendly, clean and safe space. No matter what level of exercise ability - it’s welcoming for all. If you’re thinking about joining - let this review be your encouragement to do so! I wish I joined sooner. Thank you Laura and the team for creating such enjoyable Pilates classes!

I had never tried Pilates before, but since joining El Estudio in Wembley Park, I've been really enjoying the classes. All instructors are fantastic, they genuinely motivate me to do my best and push myself in a positive, encouraging way. Both the tower and reformer classes are excellent: they're challenging yet enjoyable, with a great variety of exercises and everything you need. Since starting at El Estudio, I’ve noticed real improvements in myself, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality Pilates studio!

I’ve been taking classes at El Estudio Pilates for 3 and a half years now, and it has completely changed me (in a good way! :)

When I first started, I was a total beginner, struggling with back pain all the time. However, since then, not only has my back pain completely disappeared, I’ve also gained so much strength and discovered how enjoyable these exercises can be.

Laura is such a wonderful teacher—kind, patient, and motivating. She creates a supportive environment where you feel both comfortable and challenged.

Highly recommended for everyone:)

Highly recommend these classes. They are challenging but also relaxing and definitely works the muscles and helps with posture. Most of the instructors are really good and there are various classes and timings available.

Been coming here since September 2024 and love the classes and teachers! They are very helpful with cancellations or booking changes. The teachers are patient and explain the various exercises really well. You can work out at a pace that is comfortable for you but also challenging at the same time. There are people of all age groups in the classes. Reccomend these classes if you want to improve your balance, flexibility and tone your muscles!

This studio is great, I highly recommend them. I was brand new to reformer pilates and they are very friendly, have a great selection of classes from classic to athletic & even barre. The classes are challenging and rewarding and the instructors are brilliant. I've seen great improvement in my strength and flexibility since I started. If you're thinking about trying this place or looking for a studio don't hesitate to try here.

I've been attending classes at the West Kensington Studio since it opened late last year - as a local it is brilliant to have such a lovely studio nearby. All of the regular instructors I've had the pleasure of being in class with (in particular Claudia and Anna R.) are excellent. The classes feel personalised, informative and professional, the studio is a great space.

I can't praise the El Studio enough! The equipment, the instructors and the management are all top notch. All helped me to stick with the exercising through some dark moments of my life. Can't recommend enough.

The people behind the method

Led by experience.
Driven by care.

At el Estudio, every class is led by instructors deeply trained in anatomy, biomechanics, and intelligent progression — but also in the art of human connection.

Founded by international educator Laura Pelinski, our studios bring together a team of movement experts who care about doing things right — with structure, precision, and purpose.

That’s why we don’t just deliver classes.
We guide people — and we build bodies that last.

Frequently asked questions

Have more questions? Get in touch.
  • Do I need to be flexible or fit to start?

    Absolutely not. Most people walk in feeling tight, desk‑bound, or simply “out of practice.” Level 1 classes rebuild healthy movement from the ground up: conscious breathing, core activation, joint alignment. All you need is a body that’s ready to learn. We supply the structure, guidance, and gentle progressions that make everything feel possible—no splits, crunches, or Insta‑fitness required.

  • Is it safe for postnatal recovery or if I’m over 50?

    Yes—this is one of our specialties. Our instructors hold additional certifications in postnatal rehabilitation and age‑inclusive movement. We focus on core and pelvic‑floor reconnection, bone density, joint stability, and sustainable strength. Every exercise can be adapted for your energy level, comfort, and any medical guidance you bring with you.

  • What happens in the postural assessment?

    1. Remote photos – Before your first visit you’ll upload two simple posture pics via the app (takes under a minute).
    2. Studio check‑in – We observe how you stand, breathe, and move. No judgement, no tape‑measures—just an expert eye on spinal curves, alignment, and muscle firing patterns.
    3. Personalised roadmap – We use those findings to set spring loads, choose props, and give cues that make sense for your skeleton, not a generic template. It’s quick, gentle, and 100 % about function, not appearance.
  • What makes this different from other Pilates or fitness classes?

    Most studios queue a playlist and hope you keep up. We do the opposite:

    • Contemporary Pilates + modern science – biomechanics, applied neurology, spinal rehab.
    • Level‑based progression – every class builds on the last, so you improve without guessing.
    • Mirror‑free, small‑group coaching – instructors see you and adjust in real time.

    The result? Intelligent movement that lasts—and a body that feels better outside the studio, too.

  • Will I feel a difference in three classes?

    Almost everyone does—often sooner.

    • After Class 1: lighter posture, easier breathing.
    • By Class 3: noticeably less shoulder/hip tension, stronger core engagement, and a grounded sense of confidence.

    These first sessions aren’t a “quick fix”; they’re the foundation for long‑term change, and you’ll feel that shift immediately.

  • What happens after the intro pack?

    At the end of class 3 your instructor reviews your goals, progress, and comfort level, then recommends the best next step—whether that’s Level 2 membership, a class pack, or a few private sessions for deeper focus. No pushy sales, just a clear roadmap if you’d like to continue.

  • How do I book a class?

    1. Schedule page – choose your studio and hit Book next to any class.
    2. el Estudio app – book, cancel, or wait‑list on the go. Both options take you to our secure Mindbody checkout. Need help? Call or email and we’ll book it for you in seconds.
