I had a wonderful experience at Be Bella Pilates with Flavia! Her studio is warm and inviting and I felt like I was in very experienced hands as Flavia guided me through a series of movements to get started. You can tell immediately that Flavia has studied dance and has an immense understanding of the body in her instruction. Her method is precise and deliberate and she exudes such warmth and encouragement as she guides you through it. I left her studio feeling relaxed and confident. I cant wait to go back!

Flavia is the most talented movement or exercise teacher I've ever experienced. She has a deep understanding of how our bodies work, how they want to move, and how to develop grace and strength. She is sensitive and intuitive and her responses are very individualistic. Her humor and intelligence make a class with her an utter pleasure.

During my long staying in New York, my wife and my 15 y.o. daughter wanted to find out a gym course. Surfing the web we known about Flavia and her training programs. Unfortunately they could attempt only a three weeks program because the staying ended soon, but they would go on and on.... Flavia was so kind and nice person and of course professionaly very well prepared. All was perfectly organized and suitable for our needed. I personally advice her training services.

Flavia has a deep knowledge of the body, both from her dance background, her study of biomechanics and her experience with various somatic modalities. At 40, and wise beyond her years, she' s emphatic and encouraging about one' s capacities and abilities. She stays with you, sometimes hands on, until you get it right.
Flavia meets you were you are at, and while she is having you stretching, aligning and moving using the natural movement of the body to undo bed habits, she never pushes too hard, believing that a gentle approach to the body is most effective. This itself has his own lesson.
