“Change happens through movement and movement heals” – Joseph Pilates
Hey, I am Lena! I am a 27 years old movement-addict & founder of Pilates Bay Lena which is an Online Studio that I’ve created to help people just like you, to (re-)connect to your self and bodies’ signals to harness the incredible power that lies within you. I grew up in Germany, in a small town close to Düsseldorf, now living in beautiful Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. It was in 2018, in Byron Bay, Australia when I attended a Yoga Class at the beach which basically changed it all. It all seemed so easy and simple: donation based, international instructor from France, surrounded by beautiful nature! My thought process got triggered, I took out my journal directly after class & started designing my future vision. 3 years have passed since then. A great journey it has been so far – personally and professionally. I registered my business in 2020, worked with incredible studios, fellow Yoga-and Pilates teachers, learned, grew, failed, stood up again… always aligned to that bigger picture, my vision and values: movement & connection. My passion is the combination of conscious movements with that little extra challenge to reflect on underlying muscles & patterns. In my classes I focus on correct anatomical alignment and mindful practice, including breathing techniques and body awareness. Practice with me to build strength & mobility – on and off the mat.
