"Started with a second-hand Reformer (that was all I can afford lol), a 2x3 room inside a gym in Renon and lots of dreams, I began to name my service as a pilates instructor under SAIA Pilates. I did not think I was running a business at that point, because all I did was giving free sessions! Pilates was very new in Denpasar, it was very foreign. My will was to introduce Denpasar folks to Pilates, get them on this amazing equipment called Reformer and made them fall in love with it. After several months, I decided I gotta move. Gym was not an ideal place for a pilates space I had in mind. One day I went to get a coffee (of course right) and stumbled upon this beautiful ground nearby the gym. It was a cafe, with a swimming pool and an empty external building. I peeked inside and thought: Gotta make this as my new studio. After some pitching and talk this and that, SAIA Pilates had a new home. Everything else started from there. Spreading awareness and benefits of Pilates still be my (and now team) number one  priority. To offer an inclusive space where clients feel welcome and unintimidated is also an important aspect. Our studio is their studio. It's home. It's a safe place."
