About Avél
Avél Juliette was born and raised in Hollywood. Her love for movement and the arts was nurtured at a young age. So at 6 years old, Avél started taking ballet lessons at the local dance academy and spent countless hours in that studio : acting, singing and dancing. Self expression through movement has always been a driving force in her life. After getting her Bachelor’s degree in Science from Florida State University, moved to New York City to studio acting.
Avél found her way back to movement in the form of Classical Pilates. Indeed in 2016, after suffering a herniated disc in her neck from a car accident, she trained diligently and got accepted into Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training Program. After 7 months and 600 hours completed, she started 2017 with a new mind, body and career path. Pilates changed her life. A student first, Avél continues to develop her practice with workshops and weekly sessions with her peers and mentors.

Joanna
About Joanna
Joanna has been working in the audiovisual industry for over 25 years, and her position as studio manager has enabled her to acquire great listening and interpersonal skills.
After giving birth in 2007, she discovered Pilates, which she has been practicing assiduously ever since.
Since then, her passion for the practice has led her to pass on what has enabled her to find balance in both her professional and personal life.
In 2019, she decided to take a classical Pilates course at Centre 5 in order to teach this method herself.
Today, her goal is to be able to pass on this method with passion, benevolence and good humor, because "physical fitness is the prerequisite for happiness" (J.Pilates).
