A PRIVATE FULLY-EQUIPPED GRATZ STUDIO OFFERING TRADITIONAL CONTROLOGY SESSIONS.
Located in Venice Beach California.
I am classically trained in Contrology, created by Joseph Pilates, and strive to remain true to the legacy of the method.
I continue to further my education and practice on a daily basis with self-workouts and
private lessons from some of the masters in the field who have the closest line to Mr. Pilates himself.
Pilates is an amazing workout that not only sculpts the body, it stretches and strengthens simultaneously.
It is based in strength, flexibility, breathing and concentration to teach the body and mind to work together.
Movements are designed to stabilize the torso and work the powerhouse. Pilates can improve
misalignments and retrain the body to gain better movement, posture, and flexibility.
It will free your body and help with any discomforts while improving your quality of life.
It is healing for your body, your mind, and your soul.
Join me on this journey and you will see how Pilates will change your life.
I look forward to seeing you in the studio.

CLIENT REVIEWS
Emilia has helped me restore my strength and flexibility following several orthopedic surgeries;hips, knee toes. She's such a knowledgeable instructor and her teaching skills have grown immesurably over the years. Her new studio is fantastic and very private. The space is glorious and the quipment is top notch. She's a fantastic teacher and a joy to hang out with while she kicks my butt. I'm grateful for every moment I get to spend with her in her studio. –Crystal D.

Em is an incredible pilates teacher. Every time I show up for my lesson, I can sense that she is 100% focused on me and just present to help me perform every exercise correctly. She pays close attention to detail and really takes pride in her craft - a total rarity these days for any trainer and teacher! I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical of pilates before seeing Em, but she totally proved me wrong. Having worked with her now for over 1.5 years, I have noticed how my core strength across all kind of workouts has improved, my running style has become more economical and natural and I have found an overall better muscle and body awareness that helps with efficient and natural movement from lifting to surfing to yoga to running. –Julian R

Go see Emilia if you want to see improvement in your overall health! She is the best Pilates instructor with a beautiful bright open air studio. I've been seeing her for a few years and she continues to keep every session challenging and authentic. My body has never felt stronger or more aligned. Highly recommend! –Francesca K.
​
I’ve taken Pilates lessons for many years now with different instructors and Emilia is the best. Very motivating, pays close attention to detail, and is extremely knowledgeable. It’s also a lot of fun and rewarding in a positive and stylish environment with music curated to my tastes. I appreciate her bringing new knowledge and training techniques into our sessions. Never routine and stale. –Pamela W.

Emilia is my goddess and I'm addicted to her. She got me back into shape after the birth of my daughter, and kept me sane during COVID. She's an energy giver, she will kick your butt in the best possible way - always respectful of the OG Pilates philosophy and approach, which I love. EmPILATES is simply the best of the best and everyone should treat themselves to it. –Maria G.
​
I cannot recommend Emilia highly enough. She is an expert, knowledgeable, conscientious, attentive to detail—I feel completely safe in her hands and trust her guidance. Her moment to moment direction is indispensable and would be impossible in a group environment. She is thoughtful and considerate of limitations, observing and meeting you where you are in your body each time. On top of that, her studio is beautiful, with high ceilings, natural light, and a luxurious amount of space. It’s fully equipped with the classic pilates machinery, about which she is tremendously knowledgeable. And it’s right off Abbot Kinney, a short walk to the beach. -Lucy M.
