INNERVATE PILATES

Meet Mandalena

Hi, I’m Mandalena.

My background spans contemporary dance and classical Pilates, and I first fell in love with the method in the 90s while training at the Laban Dance Centre. Pilates quickly became a steady thread through my movement life.

I later trained with Alan Herdman and completed Stott Matwork and Training Solutions with Clare Wordman. These experiences helped me create a teaching style that blends classical roots with a fresh, contemporary feel.

I teach in a very hands-on, supportive way. I care about technique because small adjustments can open up big changes—helping you feel stronger, more connected, and more confident in your body.

My relationship with Pilates is personal, too. It played a major role in my recovery after a dance injury, and that journey fuels the patience and empathy I bring to my classes.

Wherever you are in your movement journey, I’m here to guide you with thoughtful attention and a genuine passion for helping people move well.

  • Mandalena Panagi’s Pilates class was absolutely amazing today! Her energy, clear guidance, and attention to detail made the whole experience both challenging and enjoyable. She's a fantastic instructor! Super knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly passionate about what she does. I left the class feeling stronger, more aligned, and completely refreshed. Highly recommend!

  • I have always loved Mandelena’s Pilates classes which always have a warm welcoming atmosphere. She caters to everyone allowing people in the class to push themselves further whilst also adapting exercises to suit specific needs. She teaches each class so thoroughly and really helps connect you to different parts of your body you’ve possible never strengthened before! She is just lovely!

  • Mandalena’s classes are perfect for both beginners and more experienced. Great focus on technique and offering different options for all. Love the hands teaching on to ensure you are getting the best out of an exercise & encouragement given in classes

  • If you have the pleasure of being taught by Mandalena, then no one else will ever compare. The amount of attention and knowledge you receive from her in the very small classes and second to none. My mind to body connection has improved immensely which makes all her techniques applicable to everyday life, especially my posture which was my biggest downfall. Lovely , clean, gorgeous studio and very calm, inviting atmosphere. Thankyou Mandalena for helping me to enjoy exercise x
