Studio Pilates Desirée:
dedicated to well-being,
mindful movement
and body care.
Fifteen years ago, in the heart of Lipari, surrounded by light and sea, Studio Pilates Desirée was born: not just a space dedicated to movement, but a place where people can rediscover their bodies with awareness and respect.
Since then, we have guided each person through a personalized journey of strength, posture, and well-being, in a welcoming environment where every detail is thoughtfully cared for.
Today, that same vision continues to grow and evolve with a new studio in Rome, bringing with it the same quality, the same attention to detail, and the same passion.

Training
Private sessions
A personalized journey centered on your body and individual needs. Each session becomes a dedicated space for well-being and precision of movement.
Group classes
Group classes offer a dynamic and motivating environment, where working together enhances energy, precision, and consistency. A shared experience combining technique, rhythm, and well-being.
Prenatal and postnatal classes
A program designed to support the body as it changes, with safe and fluid exercises that promote body awareness and well-being throughout pregnancy and early motherhood.
Pilates matwork
Pilates Matwork represents the purest essence of the method. It is practised on a mat and incorporates small equipment, such as fitballs, Pilates rings, resistance bands, and light weights, to intensify the exercises and improve coordination, balance, and endurance.
Through fluid and controlled sequences, the abdominal muscles, back, glutes, arms, and legs are engaged, with constant attention to breathing and alignment.
Matwork complements and enhances Reformer training, helping to develop deep core strength, improve muscle tone, and make movement more harmonious and mindful.
It is suitable for all levels and is designed to strengthen the body intelligently while respecting its individual needs.
Reformer & Tower
The Reformer with Tower is one of the most complete and advanced pieces of equipment used in the Pilates method.
Thanks to its adjustable spring system, resistance can be precisely tailored, allowing for progressive, safe, and highly personalized training.
Integrated into the Reformer, the Tower further expands the range of movement, enabling both supported and resistance-based exercises that can be adapted to every level, from beginners to those seeking a more intensive and structured workout.
During each session, the core is deeply engaged—including the deep abdominal muscles, transverse abdominis, and pelvic floor—together with the back muscles, glutes, legs, and upper body.
The result is a complete workout that improves posture, stability, and control, helping to prevent and relieve back pain, support functional recovery, and develop greater body awareness.
At the Lipari and Rome studios, sessions are available privately or in small groups, ensuring constant attention, precision of movement, and the highest quality of practice.
