About Pilates Atenas
Amy Loder is the founder of Pilates Atenas in Atenas, Costa Rica. She first discovered Pilates more than 20 years ago while living in New York City and working in the fashion industry.
What began as a way to address severe and unexpected back pain became a lifelong practice. Pilates helped Amy regain mobility, build strength, and change the way she moved, not only in the studio, but in everyday life.
She became a regular at Pilates Shop in New York City, a Pilates studio founded by Peter Roël, a longtime student of Kathy Grant who was certified to teach Pilates by Romana Kryzanowska. It was there that Pilates became much more than a solution for back pain; it became a consistent part of Amy’s life.
After more than 20 years as a Pilates student, Amy pursued her Comprehensive teacher training through Balanced Body and founded Pilates Atenas in 2023.
Amy considers herself an eternal student of Pilates. She continues to study the method, participate in continuing education, and regularly practice with experienced instructors both virtually and in person.
Her teaching is grounded in the core principles of Pilates while recognizing that every person brings a different body, history, and set of goals into the studio. Her approach emphasizes making Pilates accessible and meaningful at every age and stage of life.
