Marie Georgiou

Owner - Pilates Instructor

Marie was born in 1983, in Limassol. At the age of 3, she started ballet classes at the Ballet School of Frosso Hajigeorgiou. She discovered Pilates as a supportive method for her training and strengthening as a dancer. 

Marie studied classical ballet at the 'Academia Nazionale di Danza di Roma', in Italy and then, musical theatre dance at the London Studio Centre and contemporary dance at the London Contemporary Dance School (The Place) in the UK.

Throughout her studies, Pilates was part of her daily routine as a dancer. Thanks to the multiple benefits that this method of exercise offered to her body and to her daily life, she recognized the added value of the Pilates Method and decided to further explore it. Thus, she completed the Teacher Training Program in the Authentic Pilates Method at the 'Kinesiology Center Pilates Evita Iliopoulou', in Athens. After 18 months of intensive training, she started working as a Pilates Instructor in Athens and at the same time, she completed the Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program, with specialisation in Bakti Flow Yoga and Anusara at the 'N.Y.S.Y. Studio', in Athens.

In 2010, she founded the Studio Pranayama Downtown Club in Limassol, offering Pilates Reformers, Latin and Yoga classes. Her aim is to offer personalised physical training based on the individual needs of each person and to transmit the values of Pilates as an essential part of every movement of our body and mind, each and every moment of our life!
