At The Pilates Place, we offer a variety of training formats to support your strength, posture, and body awareness. Rooted in classical Pilates, our sessions are tailored to meet different goals and levels — from deep control to dynamic power.
Chair
Chair training in Private and Duet sessions. Compact yet demanding, the Chair challenges control, coordination, and precision in a uniquely dynamic way.
Barre & Mat Pilates
Two distinct class formats: dynamic Barre and traditional Mat Pilates, both centred around intentional, precise movement and a deeper understanding of the body.
Reformer Classic (Group)
Reformer training in small groups of up to 4, moving through a structured sequence designed to build connection, precision, and flow.
Private & Duet Sessions
A practice shaped around the individual. 1:1 or 1:2 sessions allow for deeper work across the Pilates system, using the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel.
Intro Session Pricing
At The Pilates Place, we believe every journey deserves a thoughtful beginning. Our intro sessions are designed to ease you into the practice with care, so you can feel confident, safe, and supported from the start.
Core Classes
Once you’ve built a strong foundation, our core classes offer dynamic, focused training to help you move better, build strength, and deepen your body awareness — at your own pace.
About Me
Lejla Hodzic
I wanted to create a place where people can experience the joy of movement. The opening of the studio in autumn 2025 was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for me.
During my time as an international model, I worked with Pilates for many years. It was a valuable balance for me and a way to perceive my body in a healthy and mindful way. In addition, I led spinning classes for a long time and gained valuable experience in other areas of fitness. Over time, the desire grew not only to be a participant but also to take the lead myself. That’s why I completed the training as a Pilates instructor — to be able to share my experiences in a purposeful way.
My goal in this studio is not only to teach Pilates but also to create a space for connection and community. A place where movement, health, and joy can be shared together.
