A Method Practised with Responsibility

At Paquita Pilates, we understand the body not as a collection of isolated parts, but as an intelligent and interconnected whole. We believe the body already knows; sometimes, it simply needs to be reminded. Classical Pilates provides a complete system through which this knowledge can be recognised, organised and integrated into movement.

We never forget that we are not simply teaching exercises. We are working with bodies, people, histories and injuries. That responsibility begins with us: through our own daily practice, continuous study and commitment to understanding the Method more deeply.

This is the foundation of our teaching: fidelity to the Method, attention to the individual and the humility to continue learning. The work is precise, but never mechanical; its purpose is always to serve the person in front of us.

Why Paquita Pilates

At Paquita Pilates, we do not teach isolated exercises—we teach Contrology as a complete and intelligent system, respecting the original work of Joseph and Clara Pilates.

Each session follows an intelligent order and has a clear, purposeful dynamic. Using the full range of classical apparatus, we guide each individual progressively into the Method, respecting the timing, capabilities and development of each body.

Here, movement is more than exercise: it is a powerful tool for education and transformation.

Two Professional Paths, One Method

Paquita Pilates brings together two professional careers shaped by movement, discipline and continuous study. Fiorella is a former professional ballet dancer with an extensive international career, multiple Pilates certifications, and is currently completing an advanced Master Program in Classical Pilates with Gloria Gasperi. Camila's background as a professional volleyball player brings an athlete's understanding of strength, coordination and physical discipline. Their distinct perspectives come together through a shared commitment to teaching Contrology with integrity, precision and depth.

Individual Guidance

The Method is one; the path through it is individual. With a maximum of four people in each group class, we can closely observe the body in front of us, offer precise corrections and choose the appropriate progression within the classical system.

This creates a focused and intelligent learning environment in which every student is seen, challenged and guided with care.

A Fully Equipped Classical Studio

Classical Pilates extends far beyond the Reformer. At Paquita Pilates, we work with the complete system of apparatus: Reformers, Cadillac, Classical Mat, High Chair, Wunda Chair, Arm Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, Small Barrel, Ped-o-Pull and additional small apparatus.

Each piece has a distinct role within the Method—supporting, preparing or challenging the body at different stages of its development. Having the complete system allows us to teach Classical Pilates with the depth, precision and continuity it requires.
