ABOUT
The person, the studio, the method
Nearly 20 years of teaching, a boutique studio in the heart of Barcelona, and a way of working that meets you exactly where you are.
ABOUT ME AND MY WORK
Hi, I’m Laura Ceppelli.
Originally from the UK, now based in Barcelona — an internationally trained Reformer Pilates teacher, Pilates-educated in Australia, with nearly 20 years of global experience helping people feel strong, energised, and empowered in their bodies.
I'm the founder of a beautiful boutique studio in the heart of Barcelona — a space where transformation happens through integrated movement and joyful challenge.
Why I teach Pilates
There's nothing more powerful than feeling strong, pain-free, and truly at home in your body. When we challenge ourselves this way, it shifts more than how we look or move; it changes how we feel inside. Mindset, mood, and self-belief all evolve. That's what I love about this work: it becomes a journey of strength, discovery, and self-acceptance, and it keeps giving back.
A few bits about me
I'm a fully certified STOTT Pilates teacher with over 18 years of experience, trained in Australia, with further training with Balanced Body, and a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher, though these days I prefer to be the student. Movement has been more than a career for me: it's been a lifeline, central to my own recovery, which is why I teach with empathy, clarity, and heart. Every morning I return to my practice: Pilates, breathwork, meditation, to feel grounded and ready for whatever the day brings.
OUR MISSION
To help you feel amazing in your body today, while building strength, energy, and resilience for a vibrant tomorrow.
Whether you're new to movement, returning after injury, or an experienced athlete, my classes meet you where you are and help you go further. When we are strong from the inside out, we feel flexible, energetic, calm, connected back into our bodies, and plugged into our lives.
There is nothing we can't do.
OUR METHOD
The layering system
Our classes blend traditional and contemporary Pilates with functional movement, creative variations, and sometimes an athletic twist — sequences that are playful yet powerful, layered to challenge you at the right level.
1
Layer one
We establish the essence of the exercise with fundamental movement that everyone can access.
2
Layer two
We add intensity, building strength and challenge.
3+
Layer three
We amplify and progress further, with advanced variations for those ready to level up.
