The origin
It all started by chance, in Ireland. Having recently arrived, I signed up for a sports class to meet new people and discovered Pilates. What I thought would be a simple activity quickly became a revelation.
Year after year, the benefits accumulate, are confirmed, and deepen. It is this everyday transformation that has made me want to pass it on in turn.
I trained and obtained my Romana’s Pilates certification in 2014 – the direct lineage of Joseph Pilates, passed down by Romana Kryzanowska and then Sari Mejia Santo, by whom I am certified. I continue to learn: sports educator in 2017, G.D.S. Muscular Chains training in 2018.

— The studio
Today, Studio 45 is a human-sized establishment, designed to welcome you alone, as a couple or in a group of three. No large groups, only private classes, tailored to each individual, in a calm and sunny space in the heart of Cannes.
Because the quality of the equipment makes all the difference, the studio is equipped with Gratz equipment — the brand created and certified by Joseph Pilates himself.
