Welcome to Your Movement Sanctuary!
Atelier Soma was born in the attic of my home after moving to Greece, inspired by a desire to create movement that felt fluid, expressive, and alive. What started as a very few women moving together soon blossomed into a growing community through our partnership with Kimothoi in Monemvasia.
Today, Atelier Soma is about so much more than exercise. It's about honoring our bodies, embracing challenge without punishment, finding joy through the art of movement, and discovering the strength that grows through community, connection, and sisterhood.
Let’s move with purpose & joy!
MATFLOW
Mat Flow offers a mindful blend of Pilates, mobility, functional movement, and barre-a-terre elements, guiding you through all planes of motion for a truly 3D movement experience! Through slower, intentional sequences on the mat, you’ll sculpt and lengthen your body in a focused flow that enhances flexibility, strength, and everyday functionality. While rooted in Pilates and functional movement principles, this class is also inspired by the grace and precision of ballet, adding an elegant, fluid dimension to your practice. It’s more than a workout—it’s an experience that’ll leave you feeling taller, stronger, centered, and recharged, ready to move through your day with confidence.
Don’t be intimidated—each workout offers beginner-friendly variations to help you feel confident and supported as you build strength and skill.

“Isabella has helped me fall in love with training again! In just one year, I’ve seen a big difference in my body, strength, and endurance. There are so many different exercises, and I look forward to each one—each movement methodically targets a specific area of the body. She is a professional with love for what she does!”
BARRE RITUAL
Step into complete immersion with our signature Barre Ritual class, blending ballet, Pilates, and functional strength for a flow that works your entire body—with a special focus on lower body sculpting (hello, thighs and booty on fire!). High-rep, low-impact, feel-the-burn moves like pliés, relevés, and attitudes sculpt and tone in an energizing, rhythmic experience. All you’ll need is a chair or a steady surface to grasp on and an exercise mat.
Each class lets you unleash your inner dancer, leaving you feeling deeply invigorated as if you’ve gifted yourself a moment of pure empowerment.
Strength
This class is all about building serious strength and endurance. You'll work through high-energy, circuit-style training using weights to challenge your entire body.
While every session is a total-body workout, we put a special emphasis on a complete glute workout, helping you build power and stability from the ground up. With strategic cardio bursts integrated into each circuit, you'll also boost your metabolism and improve your cardiovascular fitness.
Get ready to work hard, feel strong, and see real results. This is where you build the foundation for a more powerful you.

"What Isabella brings to each session is so unique; it’s more than just a workout, it’s a lifestyle of wellness. Her exercise combos are amazing for the whole body, and I’m already seeing progress just weeks in—I’m getting stronger, and it feels incredible! When I work out with her, I’m not only working on my body but also on my breath and peace of mind. I can feel the stress melt away, and for the first time, I’m not giving up. It feels like a safe space for all of us, where I’m supported to do my best and can truly be myself. That’s why I keep coming back!"

*your teacher
With over 15 years of experience as a personal trainer, my journey into fitness has had its own twists and turns. A few years ago, I hit a rut—workouts started feeling like a chore, and my energy, confidence, and overall zest for life dipped. That’s when I began exploring new movement modalities and found my way to more ‘organic’ training methods. Suddenly, exercise felt like play again—something I looked forward to, where I could feel and see real, sustainable results. It was the best of both worlds!
Today, I teach Barre, Pilates, and strength training with a functional twist. My goal is to help my clients rediscover—or maybe even discover for the first time—a love for movement that’s enjoyable, sustainable, and transformative. I want everyone to feel what their bodies are truly capable of, embracing wellness without quick fixes or grueling routines that don’t support long-term health. Each class is designed to empower you, connecting body and mind, and leaving you feeling strong, balanced, and recharged.

To ensure you get the most out of your experience and for the safety and flow of our group classes, we highly recommend that all new clients begin with at least one introductory private session with Isabella. This session is priced at €30 and allows her to assess your unique movement patterns, introduce you to the core principles of our practice, and prepare you to jump into group classes with confidence.
This step is recommended for all, though seasoned trainers or very experienced movers may be able to join group classes directly.
Semi-private or small group sessions can also be arranged upon request, with rates varying based on the number of participants.

For a highly personalized experience, consider one of our private training options. These sessions are designed to meet your specific goals, whether you prefer one-on-one attention, working out with a partner, or organizing a private class for your own small group.

Isabella’s exercise combos seem innocent at first… but they really work! I always leave with that ‘good ache’ that proves it. I feel stronger and free from the back pain I used to have, and her workouts are always so creative and effective.
