OUR INSTRUCTORS
We believe our instructors are like your mentors.
Although there are infinite teachings to be learnt within our walls, our instructors are here as your experienced advisors, to guide and assist you, for longevity. Our teachings are not only intended to be exercised within our studio, but to simultaneously extend into your everyday life.
Nikala Cunningham, Founder
Self-care can be tricky. We don’t always listen to our minds, or our bodies, when we need to reset, or be at rest. Sometimes we just need to breathe…
After an incident on the soccer pitch, which led to a chronic ankle injury, taking care of myself proved to be a challenge. I looked to alternative and holistic ways of exercising and healing. This is where I found my admiration for Pilates, and ultimately, my overall vision for Análú Studios.
What I learned through my own practice was invaluable: No two classes are the same. It is for anybody, and any body. It is empowering. It is where I feel inspired. It is where I discovered my pursuit for complete wellness.
Wellness is dynamic: physically, mentally, spiritually, and even socially, it is ever-changing. At Análú, we welcome you to find this within yourself, to confidently feel your breath at work.
Le grá (with love),
Nikala
