Welcome to El estudio
el Estudio is a method-driven studio where movement is taught with purpose, not pressure. Whether you're pre or postnatal, over 50, recovering from injury or just ready to feel better, we meet you exactly where you are — and guide you forward, with structure and support.
Rooted in contemporary Pilates and layered with biomechanics, applied neurology, movement science, injuries and special populations. Our method is calm, clinical, and completely personal. This isn't about keeping up — it's about reconnecting with your body and building strength that lasts.
Real experience. Meaningful results.

Meet our founder
Educator. Method Creator. Guide.
Laura's journey began in Buenos Aires in 1998 — and continues today in London, where she leads el Estudio with purpose, depth, and passion. With over 20 years of experience, she has trained instructors, run international conferences, developed professional education, and created a method trusted across the world.
Her approach blends contemporary Pilates with spinal rehab, neurology, and biomechanics — always taught with care, structure, and creativity. At el Estudio, she's built a space where real expertise meets real attention — and where strength is built from the inside out.
Meet the team

This is how real
progress feels
Our method
Our method starts by understanding how your body moves today — so we can guide you toward how it's meant to move tomorrow.
Each class is built around progression, not performance. We teach clearly, adjust in real time, and support you every step.
01.
We begin with a static postural analysis — so we can teach your body, not just a body.
02.
Our level-based system removes guesswork, follows a clear path that removes pressure — and builds lasting strength.
03.
Reformers, Towers, Chair, and props — always chosen to challenge you intentionally, not randomly.
04.
Small groups. No mirrors. Real-time instruction that meets your body where it is.
05.
This is movement that carries over — to how you sit, stand, recover, and live.

Our philosophy
el Estudio was created for people who want more than just a workout. For those who want to move with clarity. With strength. With trust in their own body again.
We guide every client with structure and care — whether you're starting from scratch or refining years of experience. Here, movement is education. It's alignment and control. It's breathing deeper, standing taller, and walking out feeling like yourself again.
This is Pilates as it should be: intelligent, human, and built around real life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
