Third-generation classical training
Joseph Pilates→ Romana Krízanowska→ Inelia Garcia→ Cátia
Mat and full apparatus. The original sequence, taught with real technical authority.
Certified Fitness Trainer
Trained at the source, not from a manual.
3rd Gen Classical Pilates Teacher
Cátia is a certified personal trainer, fitness coach and gym director - with over a decade coaching movement, from luxury resorts across the Algarve to her own studio practice today.
She specialised fully in Classical Pilates after training directly in the lineage of Joseph Pilates, through Romana Kryzanowska and Inelia Garcia - but Pilates is one part of a complete approach.
Her training combines classical technique with strength work, mobility and postural coaching, built for one goal: a body that stays strong, capable and independent for life.
Whether the starting point is a first Pilates class or a strength programme for menopause or later-life fitness, the method adapts - the standard doesn't.
"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness."
