Meet Your EZiPILATES Instructors
Every instructor at EZiPILATES holds STOTT Pilates certification and brings specialized expertise to ensure your safety, progress, and results. With small class sizes of just 4-6 clients maximum, you receive personalized attention from professionals who see you, know you, and guide you.
At EZiPilates, our instructors are the foundation of everything we do. Each brings STOTT Pilates certification—the gold standard in Pilates education—along with specialized training in areas like rehabilitation, prenatal and postnatal care, athletic conditioning, and therapeutic movement.
What sets our team apart isn't just certification, though. It's the commitment to personalized instruction that our small class sizes make possible. With only 4 clients per group session at our Sheppard studio, your instructor has the bandwidth to learn your body's unique needs, track your progress over time, and provide the specific cueing and modifications that create real, lasting change.
Our instructors come from diverse backgrounds—economics, architecture, competitive athletics, psychology, yoga—and this variety enriches the perspective they bring to movement education. Whether you're working with Eli's rehabilitation expertise, Toktam's athletic background, or Pardis's mindful movement approach, you're learning from professionals who understand that Pilates serves life beyond the studio.

​Eli's specialized training in rehabilitation and prenatal/postnatal Pilates informs every aspect of how EZiPILATES operates.

​With a background in architecture and engineering, Pardis brings structure and precision to every session.

Her architectural eye translates beautifully to Pilates, where alignment, proportion, and structural integrity determine whether movements create lasting change or simply go through the motions.
Pardis approaches the body the way an architect approaches a building—understanding that foundation, alignment, and load distribution determine overall function and longevity. This perspective makes her particularly effective at identifying postural compensations and movement patterns that contribute to pain or limitation.
