Reformer Pilates Instructor in Kitchener
Ahu Athina

Owner & Certified Instructor

Ahu is a certified Pilates and yoga instructor with over 14 years of teaching experience. Her journey began on the mat, where she built a deep understanding of mindful movement, functional strength, and the transformative power of breath.

After teaching hundreds of clients across various settings, Ahu envisioned a more personalized approach to movement—a space where even group classes would feel like private sessions. This dream became reality with the opening of Athina Pilates, a boutique studio where attention to detail, form, and care are at the heart of every class.

With a warm, welcoming energy, Ahu creates a cozy, friendly environment where clients of all levels feel supported, challenged, and seen.
