About Abena

Biography

Abena is the proud owner of Abena Pilates studio, located in Upper West Side, New York. She holds a Romana certification in Pilates and an ELDOA Level 3 certification.


Abena relocated to the U.S. in 2009 from London. She first enjoyed the beaches of Santa Monica in California, before moving to the East coast in New York City.


She's an adept of fitness and well-being, she also practiced Yoga, Spinning and Zumba classes but she truly found her calling in Pilates. The method made her stronger, giving her more control over her body movement and posture. This satisfying feeling cannot be described but rather experienced and as the owner of Abena Pilates, her mission is to make people feel it!
