Aitopilates Studio is a classical Pilates studio for the teacher who honors the original source. We provide consistent work and precision, delivered with unwavering integrity.

Our training and mentorship programs are designed to evolve your perspective and your practice. We don't just teach exercises; we help you master the art of teaching the individual.

If you’re ready to stand out through mastery, welcome.

Ready to change your life through pilates practice?

Pilates is more than just a series of exercises—it is a comprehensive system of movement. Developed over decades by Joseph Pilates, 'Contrology' is designed to forge a stronger and vital body, a focused mind and lasting awareness through precision and efficiency.

At Aitopilates, we don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" - thinking. We meet you where you are today to move it toward where it can be tomorrow. Whether you are a seasoned teacher or a new student, your path begins with a private session. Together, we will assess your movement and set a clear focus to ensure your practice is as effective as it is authentic.

Nice to meet you,

I'm Kati - Pilates teacher & trainer and Business Coach

Kati began practicing Pilates in Sydney in 2004 and immediately recognized it as her professional calling. She wanted to study in the United States for her comprehensive training program. Studies began in New York in 2006 and continued through 2010, during which time she traveled regularly between continents. She began teaching Pilates alongside her studies in 2006.

In 2010, Kati founded her first Pilates studio in Rovaniemi, marking her transition into full-time entrepreneurship. Very soon the studio was among the first fully equipped Classical Pilates studios in Finland featuring original Gratz equipment. Her commitment to ongoing learning and a deep understanding of the Pilates method has been a defining aspect of her professional path.

In 2012, Kati met Jay Grimes at Vintage Pilates in Los Angeles and identified him as her primary mentor. In 2015, she became the first—and remains the only— from Finland to graduate from Jay Grimes’ rigorous The Work program. She continued to train regularly under his guidance until 2023.

At Jay Grimes’ encouragement, Kati further expanded her expertise in Classical Pilates through continued study with MeJo Wiggin and Cary Regan who studied extensively with Romana Kryzanowska. At present, Kati’s fully equipped studio is located in eastern Finland, where she offers training programs for Pilates instructors and teaches the method to practitioners.

If you’re here to stand out through skill, simplicity, and results, you’re in the right place.

Once you sign up for the studio's newsletter you'll be among the first to know about training program and practice possibilities and inspiring events & wokshops!
