ANGELA TRANTALI
THE 4 PILATES PHILOSOPHY
4 Pilates is a BOUTIQUE Reformer/Equipment Pilates Studio, hosting a flexible use timetable of the authentic teachings of Joseph H. Pilates.
Since its foundation back in 2004 by Angela Trantali, 4 Pilates Studio is dedicated to the preservation of the authentic teachings of Joseph Pilates, often referred to as Classical Pilates.
Pilates is a powerful tool for a stronger, leaner and more functional body.
Our commitment to you is our ethos and quality of teaching in an uplifting environment that provides for intelligent exercise.
We aim to inspire EVERYONE to better movement and health.
In the 18th century, the great German poet and philosopher Friedrich von Schiller said, "It's the mind itself which builds the body".
Joseph Pilates was fond of quoting that line.
More than 80 years ago, it led him to begin developing a system of conditioning based on the principle that
THE BODY MUST BE ACTIVELY TRAINED AND CONTROLLED THROUGH THE DISCIPLINE OF THE MIND.
The discipline is ageless and genderless.
Staying true to the original principles created by Joe H. Pilates, we are inclusive in our embrace and exclusive approach.
Angela Trantali
Angela Trantali's love and passion for the body and general well being has led her to establishing her own sanctuary under the brand name of 4 Pilates.
As an avid dancer and maven of self expression Angela applied, and amongst 800 applicants won, one out of the six places offered, at the prestigious State Ballet School of Greece. But a back injury early on in her dancing career put breaks on her professional dancing ambitions. So when Angela was scouted and offered the possibility to travel the world whilst modelling, she took the opportunity which ultimately led to discovery of Pilates.
Angela quickly progressed from an amateur pilates devotee to an expert instructor.
After rigorous training and over 900 hours of observation and apprenticeship Angela Trantali qualified, and was certified as a professional pilates instructor and currently belongs to the Greek Pilates Association.
During her illustrious career, Angela has appeared in numerous publications, including national newspapers and magazines, TV shows and various workout segments as an authority on well being and all things pilates. 4 Pilates has a strong celebrity following including singers to actors, performers and TV personalities, who enjoy physical and psychological benefits of pilates, restoring balance in body and mind.
Angela is a preferred pilates instructor within the professional athletes community for her teaching methods of Classical Pilates and intricate knowledge of body movements first hand. Angela’s clients include tennis players, dancers, NBA basketball players, top football players, and others, whose routine workout includes pilates as a form of recovery, performance enhancing exercise and as part of rehabilitation process for those suffering from injuries or chronic issues.
