Sara Hrapovic - Romana's Pilates Instructor (Level 5)

I'm Sara, the founder of The1924 Pilates Studio in Vienna. My journey with Pilates began in my mother’s studio, where I discovered my passion for this transformative practice early on.

In 2018, I moved to New York City, the birthplace of Pilates, to train under renowned instructors like Cynthia Shipley. After completing over 750 hours of intensive training, I became the youngest certified Romana’s Pilates instructor worldwide. I was honored to be tested by Sari Mejia Santo, daughter of Pilates legend Romana Kryzanowska.

Returning to Austria, I moved to Vienna to combine my passion for Pilates with business acumen by pursuing a degree in International Business at WU Vienna, specializing in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. This education empowered me to realize my dream of opening my own studio.

Throughout the years, I have traveled all over the world to work with, train with, and learn from some of the most esteemed classical Pilates instructors. These experiences have enriched my teaching style and deepened my understanding of Pilates.

Now, as the proud owner of The1924, I am excited to offer a space where individuals can experience the authentic Pilates method. My mission is to make the original Pilates Method accessible to everyone, helping you experience its holistic benefits. So come as you are & let's #powerhouse together!
