Pilates has been a proven method for nearly 100 years to improve your posture, body awareness, balance, flexibility, muscle strength, and movement quality. It also works excellently for injury prevention and recovery.


Mariska Assink in een Pilates houding in haar eigen studio: Studio Zena

Mariska has been teaching Pilates at multiple yoga schools since 2010 to groups with participants of varying levels.


She was primarily trained by Loretta Simon Helms.


Over the years, Mariska developed her own style and method in which not only the "core" is trained, but the entire body is addressed.


To this end, standing, sitting, and lying exercises are performed in every lesson.


Naturally, strength exercises are performed for the core and limbs, but stretching, making the entire back more flexible and stronger, and improving body awareness are also a fixed part of every class.
