Summer Updates: Meet Our New Teachers

Hi there,

We have a few summer updates to share with you from the studio <3

First, our wonderful Alina will be going on her well-deserved summer vacation and will be away for a few weeks. She will be back in July, refreshed and ready to return to teaching her classes.

During her time away, we are very happy to welcome Priya to the studio on Tuesdays at the end of June and beginning of July. Priya is a Certified Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Fitness Instructor with a strong background in Pilates, strength training, functional movement, and overall wellness - so you will be in good hands!

Her teaching is both supportive and highly effective, helping students build strength, improve posture and mobility, and feel more confident in their bodies. Pilates has been a transformative practice in her own life, and she brings that depth of experience into every class she teaches.

We are also excited to welcome Alaura, who will be covering Alina’s Body Ballet classes and, from July onwards, will become a regular part of our Wednesday schedule teaching Yoga Flow & Sound and Restorative Yin after Parinaz has moved back to California with her family.

Alaura brings over 800 hours of yoga training and is certified in Hatha, Therapeutic Yin, Kundalini, and Classical Mat Pilates. She specializes in mobility and deep body awareness, often weaving in the grace and strength of her ballet background into her teaching. Her classes are rooted in embodiment, nervous system awareness, and creating space for both grounding and expansion.

Our dear Parinaz’s last classes with us will be on 17th June, so you still have a chance to practice with her before she leaves. Her presence at the studio has been deeply appreciated, and we encourage you to join her classes while you still can - we really hope to have her back one day, whenever life may bring her to Helsinki

And a little reminder: our SUMMER10 discount code is still valid until the end of June for all class packages and the first month of new memberships.

We’re so grateful for this beautiful community and for the teachers who continue to make the space what it is.

Thank you for being part of it.

With love,

Gentle Team
