My name is Anikó Lakos – welcome to my page.

I founded Animus Pilates Studio in 2010 because I wanted to teach in a place where everything is set for a truly positive movement experience.
I offer Private, Duo, and Studio Pilates sessions, as well as Group Reformer courses, in both Hungarian and English, in my fully equipped Pilates Studio in the heart of Budapest.
I can also support your body and soul with Aquakontakt – water-based movement meditation.

Our bodies are designed to move! I believe that with the Pilates method I use, the freedom of movement can be accessible to everyone. In my fully equipped studio, I can adapt each exercise to you personally, so you can get the most out of yourself without overstraining.

Did you know that most of the original mat-based Pilates exercises are actually advanced movements? Out of the original 34 exercises, many would likely put too much strain on your body – especially if you mostly live a sedentary lifestyle or have any musculoskeletal concerns.
With Pilates apparatus, we create a new, unusual environment for your nervous system – making it easier to learn new movement patterns or correct ingrained faulty ones. All this without overexerting yourself. In today’s fast-paced world, this is truly a gift!

For me, the Pilates technique is not about forcing, straining, or battling with the body.
Rather, it is an opportunity to experience the full awareness and wisdom of your human home.
An invitation to slow down and arrive in the present moment.
A guide toward balance and the freedom of movement.
And all of this is beautifully complemented by water-based movement meditation.

I warmly look forward to hearing from you!
