About

I’ve always been a multitasker, a bit hyperactive and a big dreamer. If I’m not juggling five projects at once, I get restless. My energy goes into building SÍA, working out, spending quality time with friends and family and constantly creating new ideas for what comes next.

Movement has always been a big part of my life, and with SÍA I get to combine my love for Pilates, creativity and creating experiences that bring people together.

About

Movement is my safe space. With a background in ballet and figure skating, I’ve always loved expressing myself through movement and feeling at home on stage. I’m naturally outgoing, communicative and usually the one bringing a little extra energy and a smile into the room.

When I discovered Reformer Pilates, it instantly clicked. For me, it is the perfect mix of strength, control and flow. As an instructor, my passion is to help you feel at home in your body, build confidence and find joy in every session. My classes are a space where you can feel supported, inspired and empowered to grow.

About

I’m a naturally communicative, creative and positive person who loves connecting with people and bringing good energy into everything I do. After completing my education in banking and working in the industry for several years, I discovered Pilates as the perfect balance to my everyday routine.

What started as time for myself quickly became the highlight of my week. I fell in love with the way Pilates combines movement, focus and feeling good in your body. Today, I get to turn that passion into something I can share with others and create the same feeling that made me fall in love with Pilates in the first place.

About

I’m a creative soul with a lot of heart and passion. I love inspiring energy, fashion, movement and a little bit of magic on top. I’m a spiritual girly at heart, curious, open and maybe a tiny bit of a perfectionist. In my classes, I love to motivate while being cozy strict in the best possible way.

Outside the studio, I work at the City Police of Winterthur and as a freelance fashion stylist, giving me the perfect mix of structure and creativity. I love to connect, create and evolve. Always growing, always glowing.

About

I’m always up for trying new things, which is probably why I explored quite a few different sports before finding my passion for Pilates. I love challenging myself, discovering new things and bringing that curiosity into my classes.

Another big passion of mine is surfing, even though I’m still working on my skills. When it’s warm and sunny, you’ll usually find me by the lake. I’m also always planning my next trip, so I’d love to hear about yours and get some inspiration for where to go next.

As a proud girl mom, fashion addicted coffee lover and happily married millennial, my journey of self discovery has taken an exciting turn. Since becoming a mom, I made it my mission to find a fitness routine I genuinely look forward to. That is when I discovered Reformer Pilates, and it quickly became one of my biggest passions.

Today, I love stepping outside my comfort zone, challenging myself and inspiring others to discover the same joy in movement. For me, Pilates is about feeling strong, confident and genuinely excited to show up for yourself.

About

Movement has always been a big part of my life. From ballet and rhythmic gymnastics to track and field and volleyball, sport has shaped my mindset and taught me discipline, resilience and passion.

Originally trained as a childcare worker, I discovered Pilates through my best friend and roommate, Nina, and quickly fell in love with it. Pilates taught me the value of slowing down, moving with intention and building strength through control. Today, my goal is to inspire others to embrace challenges, grow in confidence and discover what they are truly capable of.

Outside the studio, I’m a Biomedical Science student at the University of Zurich, and movement keeps me balanced alongside my studies. I’ve been dancing commercial and hip hop for years and fell in love with Reformer Pilates when SÍA Studios opened.

I’m warm, outgoing and bring a calm but bubbly energy to every class. My goal is for you to leave feeling stronger, more confident and proud of taking time to move for yourself.

About

I’m a logistics professional who moved from Paraguay to Switzerland at 18 to start a new chapter. After an accident and a knee injury, I discovered Pilates as a gentle yet highly effective way to move, and it quickly became my passion.

I’m energetic, open minded, humorous and empathetic, and I love bringing that energy into my classes. Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me running or exploring nature on a hike.
