Hi, I'm Paola. I'm an engineer, a certified Pilates and yoga teacher, and the founder of PULS.

I've always lived between two worlds. One that loves structure, problem-solving and building things. The other that finds clarity through movement, breath and slowing down.

Engineering has taught me to think analytically. Movement has taught me to listen. For me, they're not opposites, they balance each other.

After eight years in Melbourne, I moved to Amsterdam to start over. And like a lot of people beginning again in a new city, I realised what I needed wasn't just somewhere to exercise. I needed familiar faces. A space to feel grounded. Something that felt like mine.

That's what PULS grew out of.

I created PULS as a place to move with intention, to build real strength, slow down, and connect. Not just with your body, but also with the people next to you on the mat.

My classes combine Pilates and yoga in a way that's challenging without being punishing. Whether you're brand new or have been practising for years, my hope is that you leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived.

Because movement has never just been about fitness. It's about creating space to come back to yourself.

I'd love to welcome you to class.
