Flavia & Hali met in 2023 and bonded over their passion for Pilates. Their dream was to open a Pilates studio that brought an authentic Pilates experience to the local community, and less than 12 months later Pilates Hub London opened its doors at The Pavilion in Lammas Park, Ealing.
We couldn't be happier with the setting, practising Pilates to the sound of the birds and the distant bustle of the park is a dream come true. It's a very relaxing environment, which allows the mind to switch off from all the stress and outside noise and concentrate on movement, moving freely and with intention.
Hali
Hali first fell in love with the Pilates apparatus in 2011 following an acute injury. Adding regular Pilates practice to keep her body moving pain free, Hali finally realised she wanted to live and breath Pilates so after a lot of research, chose to train with Polestar and graduated in 2017.
Hali is passionate about Pilates and wants to share her knowledge to help others discover the endless benefits.
Hali has helped people gain confidence and strength following a variety of issues, including knee replacement and hip replacement.
Favourite exercise: All of them, even the ones her body doesn't like, which of course are the movements that should be practised the most.
Flavia
Flavia started teaching in 2015. After her initial Matwork qualification and Equipment Diploma, she got hooked exploring all things Pilates related, from Biomechanics to the different ways Pilates can support specific body needs, from Pregnancy to Stroke rehab.
What she loves most about Pilates is the integration and the precision of form, which is where the incredible transformative potential of the method lies, as many of her clients have personally experienced.
Favourite exercise: everything with legs overhead and everything Arm.
Least favourite exercise: leg pull prone on the mat, Swan dive on the Reformer.
