Pilates Atenas was founded in April 2023 to make Pilates accessible, effective, and personal for every body that enters our studio. From our studio in downtown Atenas, Costa Rica, we offer private and semi-private sessions, and small-group classes, designed to build strength, improve balance and mobility, and help you move with greater confidence. Virtual sessions and classes are available and are a great way to maintain your Pilates practice no matter where you are in the world. Amy Loder is the founder of Pilates Atenas in Atenas, Costa Rica. She first discovered Pilates more than 20 years ago while living in New York City and working in the fashion industry. What began as a way to address severe and unexpected back pain became a lifelong practice. Pilates helped Amy regain mobility, build strength, and change the way she moved, not only in the studio, but in everyday life. After more than 20 years as a Pilates student, Amy pursued her Comprehensive teacher training and founded Pilates Atenas in 2023. Amy considers herself an eternal student of Pilates. Her teaching is grounded in the core principles of Pilates while recognizing that every person brings a different body, history, and set of goals into the studio. Her approach emphasizes making Pilates accessible, effective and meaningful at every age and stage of life. - Age 65+ Active Aging Pilates - Equestrians, surfers, cyclists - Pre and post-op (knee, hip, back, etc.) - Scoliosis - Pilates beginners and seasoned students
