About Mila
Mila Aleshina is a Pilates and functional mobility coach. She is the founder of SANA Studio in Founex, Switzerland, a Pilates studio focused on recovery, fitness and longevity, and SANA at Home, an online program helping people get stronger and feel better from home.
At a time when Pilates has become increasingly popular as a fitness trend, Mila takes a deliberately education-led approach. Her work is rooted in anatomy, contemporary movement knowledge and methods that help people recover after injury, build fitness and support long-term health. Rather than taking a mass-market approach to Pilates, she believes meaningful progress comes from understanding how the body moves, how the nervous system influences recovery, and how to appropriately adapt and progress exercise for different needs.
Her approach is built around three pillars:
1. Recovery: Helping people return to exercise after injury or prolonged inactivity, and manage recurring back pain or joint stiffness.
2. Fitness: Developing mobility, strength and control to build a stronger, more capable body.
3. Longevity: Maintaining muscle strength, supporting bone health and keeping the cardiovascular system strong as we age.
Mila is a certified STOTT Pilates instructor, Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist, ELDOA Practitioner (Levels 1 & 2) and certified TRX trainer. She has spent most of her career teaching within osteopathy and physiotherapy settings, first in Montreal, Canada, and now in Founex, Switzerland. She works with clients at different stages of recovery and physical development, including women navigating perimenopause and menopause.
At the heart of Mila’s work is the belief that exercise should do more than just make people sweat. It should help people become stronger, more capable and more confident in their bodies, so they can continue doing the things they enjoy for years to come.

Mila is proud to hold a Quality Seal from QualiCert, a leading certification body in Switzerland.

The Methods
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
"Exercise was created for people, not people for exercise" - Mila Aleshina. As a firm believer that exercises need to be selected and adapted to each persons needs, her variety of training methods allow her to cater to different needs in a personalized and unique way.
Pilates
The art of controlled movements, a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. If practiced with consistency, Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the entire body. It puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance.
ELDOA
The French acronym for Longitudinal Osteo-Articular Decoaptation Stretches, an exercise technique developed by world renowned French osteopath, Guy Voyer. ELDOA exercises create tension in the connective tissue systems (called fascia) that run through the entire body by adopting different body positions, and create a lengthening force while doing so. These exercises use specific postures that promote a decompression at a specific part of the body.
FRC
Functional Range Conditioning is a comprehensive joint training system based in scientific principles and research, developed by world-renowned musculoskeletal expert Dr. Andreo Spina. There are 3 main training-goals when utilizing the FRC system which are all closely interrelated, and acquired simultaneously: Mobility Development, Joint Strength and Body Control
TRX
Also known as Total Resistance Exercises, a specialized form of suspension training that utilizes equipment developed by former U.S. Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick. It uses body weight exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously.
