Specialist One-to-One
Pilates Studio in Godalming,
& Transformative Wellness Retreats
"My mission is to guide, facilitate and elevate the physical,
the emotional and spiritual growth of my students, and to make them aware
of their innate potential"
Hello! I’m Elena—though most know me as Elle—a UK-based wellness specialist and retreat facilitator. I specialise in clinical Pilates, offering bespoke one-to-one and duet sessions from my home studio in Godalming. With 15 years of teaching experience and over 20 years of movement practice, I collaborate closely with physiotherapists and osteopaths to help my clients stay injury-free and support those on a rehabilitation journey.
Although Pilates is my main focus, I also teach Yoga and Meditation, bringing a holistic approach to help you cultivate strength, balance, and overall well-being.
Passionate about creating inclusive and supportive spaces, I combine professional expertise with a caring approach, whether in a class setting or at a retreat.
I'd be happy to connect and explore how I can support your wellness journey.

What Makes Working With Me Different
Choosing to work with me means choosing experience, depth of knowledge, and truly personalised care.
With over 15 years of teaching and more than two decades immersed in movement, I bring an extensive understanding
of biomechanics, anatomy, posture, and the many ways bodies move (and compensate) through life.
My own rehabilitation journey has given me a genuine understanding of injury, recovery, and the emotional side of healing, allowing me to support clients with both empathy and precision.
I’m known for my attention to detail, my ability to observe subtle patterns, and my commitment to tailoring each session
to your unique needs.
No two bodies move the same, and no two sessions should look the same either. Whether you’re managing an injury, building strength, returning to exercise, or simply wanting to feel better in your body, I create a programme that evolves with you.
Working one-to-one with an experienced teacher is very different from attending a group reformer class. In a private session, the focus is entirely on you—your goals, your alignment, your movement patterns, and your pace.
Every exercise is chosen specifically for where you are that day, with hands-on guidance, corrections, and modifications
to ensure you’re moving safely and effectively.
Group reformer classes can be fun and dynamic, but they move quickly and follow a set structure.
There isn’t always time for detailed alignment work, individual correction, or adapting the session for injuries, discomfort,
or specific goals.
Private Pilates offers a level of precision, safety, and progression that simply isn’t possible in most group settings, especially when working with injuries, muscular imbalances, postural concerns, or long-term goals.
My aim is to help you understand your body, move with confidence, and build strength that supports your everyday life. When we work together, you’re not just following a set of exercises; you’re deepening your awareness of how your body moves, improving posture, coordination, and core stability, and exploring the connection between mind and body.
It’s a process of learning, unlearning, and truly transforming the way you move and the way you live your life.
