Who We Are
MAHI TAVABEGHAVAMI
Chief
I am the founder of the Neuro Pilates Studio in Parma, as well as the pioneer and owner of the NeuroPilates brand at the European level. With over 18 years of experience in the field of Pilates, I have developed an innovative method specifically designed for individuals with neurological conditions, such as stroke recovery, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease.
The NeuroPilates method combines traditional Pilates with a neuro-rehabilitation approach. We use both matwork and equipment such as the Reformer, Cadillac, and Fuse Ladder, offering highly personalized programs.
My ongoing education has been enriched by a valuable collaboration with Professor Francesco Chiampo, a physiotherapist specialized in neurology, with whom I’ve had the opportunity to deepen the neuroscientific foundations of movement.
The NeuroPilates project is already active in Italy and Switzerland, with the ambitious goal of expanding to other European countries in the coming years.
My international journey began in Iran and continued through Dubai, Geneva, and Canada, where I became a certified International Pilates Instructor (Stott Pilates). I also completed the Base & Advanced Course in Neurological Conditions at The Neuro Studio (USA).
Academically, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sport Sciences, Sport and Health from the University of Parma, and a Master’s Degree in Political Science from Allameh Tabataba’i University in Tehran.
My work is grounded in listening to the body, with the goal of fostering a new relationship with it — one based on balance and harmony.
I graduated with honors in Sport Sciences from the University of Bologna and earned a Master’s degree in Disability and Sport in Parma, where I deepened my understanding of the connection between the body, function, and disability.
I gained significant experience in the United States, collaborating with the University of Miami, where I took part in studies on high-tech training, HIIT, and Pilates for people with Parkinson’s disease. This experience refined my ability to design personalized training programs.
At the Neuro Pilates Studio, I offer individual and group sessions that combine scientific rigor with deep body awareness, aiming to promote well-being and functional improvement.
I also collaborate with the Real Eyes Foundation and the blind football team of CUS Parma, promoting an inclusive approach to movement.
In 2025, I will present the poster “Move as you are” at ISAPA in Ireland, and I am actively involved in school-based projects that support the inclusion of children with disabilities in Parma.
