Elena Manoli

Qualifications: Polestar Comprehensive Rehabilitation

Hi, my name is Elena. My interest in Clinical and Comprehensive Pilates grew from a desire to understand pain and movement more deeply after experiencing a personal low back injury. Through my own rehabilitation, I experienced first-hand how targeted, mindful movement can support recovery, strength, and long-term wellbeing.

Alongside this, yoga has been a central part of my life and practice for over 13 years, shaping my deep connection to the body, breath, and mind. This foundation strongly influences my approach to Clinical Pilates, allowing me to support clients with awareness, sensitivity, and respect for where their bodies are each day.

I am passionate about helping people living with pain reconnect with their bodies, move with confidence, and build resilience through safe, effective, and evidence-based movement. My teaching is grounded in the mind–body connection and supports rehabilitation, functional strength, and everyday ease of movement.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll often find me meditating/weightlifting or spending time in nature. I love outdoor activities such as kitesurfing and cycling, which continue to inspire my appreciation for movement, balance, and the body’s incredible capacity to adapt and thrive.
