our story

Restore Pilates was founded by Lena Zerbinopoulos in April 2021, originally under the name My Pilates Studio. After years of personal experience with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Lena discovered firsthand how Pilates could transform not just movement — but life itself.

Diagnosed in 2016, Lena understands the frustration, fear, and uncertainty that can come with chronic conditions. Pilates became her pathway to strength, confidence, and freedom of movement. It’s this deeply personal journey that inspired her to open a studio dedicated to serving those often overlooked by traditional fitness spaces.

In 2025, the studio rebranded to Restore Pilates — a name that reflects our purpose and our heart. We are more than a Pilates studio. We are a community built on compassion, expertise, and the belief that mindful movement has the power to restore body and spirit.
