Lena Zerbinopoulos
Lena lives with her husband and two rare disorders - medullary sponge kidneys (MSK) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) - a painful connective tissue disorder.
It was the diagnosis of hEDS in 2016 that empowered her to take control of her health and start a Pilates routine. After years of consistent practice, the chronic pain had significantly reduced overall and completely disappeared in some areas - greatly improving her daily functionality.
Lena merged her 20 years’ experience in accounting with her passion for movement with the opening of my pilates studio in Manchester, NH in April of 2021. Her continued goal is to introduce as many people as possible to the powerful, therapeutic benefits of Pilates.
In April of 2024, Lena opened a location on Columbus Avenue on the South end of Boston.
Lena is a life long student, as well as an instructor and has taken many different training workshops and continues her Comprehensive certification journey through Balanced Body. When not practicing Pilates, Lena loves to visit the beach and spend time with her husband. She is most proud of raising her two amazing boys.

Kathryn Costello
Kathryn is a recent graduate of Saint Anselm College. She played for the women’s soccer team and developed a passion for fitness and health.
Her mom completed two marathons and inspired her to find a love in running. While Kathryn enjoys running, Pilates has introduced her to a new form of fitness, focused on low-impact exercise that builds strength and aids in overall well being - bringing her to a new chapter in her self-wellness journey.
Kathryn started her Pilates teacher-in-training journey with Balanced Body through Boston Body Pilates. She continues this journey by teaching a couple evenings a week at the Boston studio.
