THE STUDIO
The original Pilates studio
“Pilates is not a trend, but a conscious choice for quality of life.”
Founded in 1997 in Cannes by Cristiane Domenici, Studio Pilates de Cannes is the first institution dedicated to teaching the original method in France. Formerly a principal soloist with the Ballet National de Marseille under Roland Petit, Cristiane brought rigorous standards and movement excellence to the French Riviera.
Trained in London under master Alan Herdman — pioneer of European Pilates — and PMA Certified Pilates Teacher since 2009, Cristiane perpetuates an exacting academic instruction grounded in individual postural analysis and gestural precision.
As a recognized house of instruction and teacher training center, the studio has trained teachers for nearly three decades who now lead studios throughout France and internationally.
