Get to know
your Pilates teachers

Tailored, personalized approach is the way we like to teach - there are many forms of Pilates offerings out there but we sincerely believe that the best way to harness the value of Pilates is through mindful execution and proper form.

Teachers at ILUME focus on your form during movement, plan lessons accordingly to your needs, challenge and progress you along the way; We also aim to share knowledge and tips on how to replicate what you learn in studio to your daily life outside of the studio. 

“Been taking Pilates classes with Pauline, Jenny, and Michelle, and each instructor is rather unique in their way of teaching. All three are attentive to body posture and take the time to assess how you’re feeling each class to determine how much they can push you. Pauline’s classes are usually more relaxed, with up to 6 reps per exercise, focusing more on breathing and engaging the right muscles. Jenny’s sessions are a bit more challenging (personally found it to be), with more resistance and reps per exercise. They’re great if you want to push yourself and feel that satisfying muscle ache the next day or after the class. Michelle’s classes emphasize more on flow, hand-leg coordination, and sometimes balancing, with a similar number of reps as Pauline (6-8 reps). I have enjoyed all their classes and have learned a lot about my body, especially areas that need more attention. Overall, gained better body sculpting, improved flexibility, and a leaner physique.”
