Chen Chen

RYT Yoga Alliance Certified | Prenatal Yoga Instructor | Vinyasa Yoga Instructor
For Chen, yoga is not about touching your toes or perfecting a pose—it’s about showing up. With the mantra “Practice, and all is coming,” she believes that the true power of yoga lies in the commitment to return to the mat, day by day, breath by breath.
Her classes are grounded in compassion and awareness, offering students a chance to reconnect with their bodies, quiet the mind, and feel supported—whether they’re flowing through an energizing sequence or slowing down to nurture new life.
Having yoga as a powerful tool during her own pregnancy, Chen knows firsthand how incredible the practice can be. She brings this lived experience into her class, holding space for others with patience, empathy, and a deep respect for the journey each person is on.

Combining the principles of coaching, mentoring, and Pilates, Dori creates a practice that supports both body and mind.
On the mat, she focuses on stability, strength, and body awareness. In coaching, she guides clients through personal growth, inner clarity, and the confidence to live life from a place of alignment.
Her own journey led her from a fast-paced corporate career to a deeper connection with herself — and a new way of working with others.
She knows what it means to strive for more, and what it takes to pause, shift direction, and choose a path that feels true.
Today, Dori supports women who are ready to embrace their full presence — both physically and personally.

Juliane Oppenheim

Juliane was enthusiastic about exercise from an early age: From ballet and apparatus gymnastics to tennis, athletics, jogging and dancing – movement has always been an integral part of her life. While studying biology, she discovered yoga and Pilates on the mat and was immediately fascinated by this new, mindful way of moving.
When she started working and as a mother of three children, she had to severely limit her sporting activities – which was not without consequences: her mobility decreased, muscles broke down and back pain increased.
In 2021, during the coronavirus pandemic, Juliane started doing sport again – and discovered Pilates Reformer for herself. With growing enthusiasm for the positive effects of Pilates, she decided to start training as a Pilates teacher at the internationally renowned BASI Pilates Academy. Since then, she has enjoyed every moment of this exciting journey.

Juliane teaches in German and English.

In addition to her work as a Pilates teacher, she works as a project manager in the HR and NGO sector.

Katarzyna Fernandes

Kasia’s first encounter with Pilates dates back to the pandemic times - she stumbled upon an on-line exercise program which became a replacement for her fitness and gym routine. Little did she know that this accidental alignment of events would eventually lead her to enrol in the BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training Program a few years later.

What initially seemed an unlikely path for her, a data analyst with no history of training sports professionally, has become an indispensable part of her life.

Pilates brings her joy and peace and allows to destress and refocus. Her own journey is proof that Pilates is for everyone and it’s never too late to start.

What she appreciates the most about this method is the scientific foundation and the way it energises you. It is simply good for your body and mind - and it is that message she’s looking to share with her Clients.

Kasia teaches in English, Polish, French and Spanish

Lara Fuchs

She discovered Pilates due to work-related back pain and quickly realized that this method not only strengthens the body but also the mind. The wonderful feeling after a Pilates session is something truly special to her. Through Pilates, she learned to train mindfully and develop a deeper awareness of her body.
These positive experiences inspired her to begin training as a Pilates instructor in 2024. Her empathetic nature, which she already applies in her work as a dental hygienist, also shines through in her Pilates teaching. She is particularly passionate about motivating her participants and helping them develop better body awareness – both during and after class.

Sabrina Kascha

Sabrina worked in consulting which caused several health issues due to a lack of movement and stress.
In 2019, she underwent bariatric surgery and started Pilates training to improve her health. She was able to lose over 40 KG within 1.5 years and was able to gain physical strength and fitness with the BASI® Pilates method.

Due to the amazing effects on her overall fitness and wellbeing, Sabrina decided to become a certified BASI® Pilates studio and mat instructor.

She offers a holistic view on Pilates training and wellbeing and is excited to work with clients of all fitness levels. Especially clients suffering from obesity, lower and upper back problems and workplace related issues can profit from her experience.
