I've been doing sports ever since I can remember and I love motivating others to exercise. In order to share my enthusiasm for good workouts outside of my circle of friends, Pop Pilates Vienna was founded in February 2018 – originally also as a balance to my freelance job in advertising. I can hardly believe what has developed from it since then:

I could have never magined having such a fantastic team of amazing people by my side, seeing our community grow constantly, or even think it was possible to develop our own formats…

But all of this has happened and since October 2025 we have finally found a permanent home base in Mollardgasse with our own studio, which reflects the spirit of The Happy Place and offers enough space for our wonderful participants.

I don't take any of this for granted – and that's why I'm all the more looking forward to the positive feedback and to being able to continue exercising, sweating and growing with you on a regular basis. :)

Sport has always been an important part of my life. In the past, however, I mainly played tennis and volleyball – sports in which you work a lot on technique and strategy during training. It was only through Pop Pilates that I learned to consciously pay attention to the movements of individual muscles. The interaction with the music allows me to concentrate fully on the sport and let go of all the thoughts of the rest of the day. As a result, I always left The Happy Place with tired muscles and a lot of positive energy. Now I'd like to create this special space in my classes for you, so that we can work out together and clear our heads. I look forward to many classes together on the mat.

From my first Pop Pilates class, I was immediately hooked. I had finally found a sport that brought back the joy of movement—and the occasional sore muscle ;)

In my classes, I want to show you that exercise can be fun and doesn't have to be strenuous. Every class feels like a little party on the mat—with flowing movements that strengthen the entire body. My playlists are diverse, so there's something for everyone—but of course, an 80s song is a must!

I'm looking forward to working out with you to motivating music, forgetting everything else and sweating together.

Pop Pilates has been with me since 2019 and has long since become more than just a sport for me – it's my balance, my source of energy, and my creative outlet. As a former dancer, I'm fascinated by the combination of movement and music, which makes every class special. It's fascinating how music and movement interact to create a workout that's both motivating and harmonious.

For me, the main focus of Pop Pilates is on becoming aware of my own body. I'm always surprised by how much these workouts help me discover new strengths – often in areas I'd barely noticed before.

Music naturally plays a central role in the classes. I love putting together playlists that convey energy and fun, and I'm excited to share my enthusiasm for this format with you.

Sport wasn't really my thing for a long time – until I discovered Pop Pilates. It combines everything in a way that's fun. I'm particularly fascinated by the connection between movement and music: when an exercise is perfectly choreographed to the beat? It's giving me goosebumps!

In my classes, I want everyone to feel comfortable, challenged if they want to be, and proud of what their body is capable of. In my "Pop Pilates Slow Burn" class we slow down, work on the muscles in a controlled and conscious way, and enjoy the music in a relaxed atmosphere – sometimes almost meditative, but definitely still a good workout ;)

I place great importance on a relaxed atmosphere. My motto is: "Come as you are" – everyone is welcome!

Movement has been a part of my life for many years: It's my way of harmonizing body and mind and recharging my energy. Through Pop Pilates I've found a form of exercise that is so much more than just a sport. It's a moment just for me, to feel strength, connect with the music, and let go of everything else.

I love to share this passion with my students, to laugh together, push our limits, and leave the mat with a smile. Every class is a little getaway from everyday life for me, showing how good it feels to consciously take time for yourself. I look forward to training with you, growing together, and sharing this joy for movement.
