We are proud to be the first studio in Lugano exclusively dedicated to teaching Contrology — as originally created by Joseph Pilates. Our mission is to preserve the integrity of the method, deliver expert instruction, and support each client’s journey toward lasting strength, balance, and confidence.​

We are not a rehabilitation center. We are a movement studio, where the original method lives in its full form, practiced with intention, taught with depth, and guided by expertise.

Sessions are private or in small groups of maximum four people. This model accelerates mind-body connection, body awareness and progression. The learning and understanding process is deeper, more direct and faster. Individualized instruction and program has a greater impact on how you control the body, Phaedra guides you precisely and patiently, observes you and corrects you, while she constantly support you and encourages you. She demonstrates the exercises, she provides useful informations and cues and explains the why and hows to get the most out of it. In this way lessons are build time after time with a targeted selection of exercises meant to elevate your personal practice and contributing to a deeper understanding of how you move. This is how you get strong, stable, aligned and pain free for life. Every new client takes private lessons before entering a mini group. en within a group setting, every person receives individual attention, with exercises, corrections and progressions adapted to their own body, experience and goals.

Your Pilates practice is guided by one instructor throughout your journey. This continuity allows Phaedra to know your body beyond a single session — understanding your movements patterns, strengths, limitations, progress and changing needs over time. Every lesson builds on the one before it. Nothing is taught in isolation; each session contributes to a deeper understanding of how you move.
