THE PILATES POWERHOUSE DUO CLOE SOMMADOSSI ANJALI CHANDIRAMANI &

LEADING WITH HEART AND STRATEGY

- 

In the heart of Dubai—a city synonymous with ambition and innovation—two women are reshaping the fitness and wellness landscape, one movement at a time. Cloe Sommadossi and Anjali Chandiramani, the dynamic duo behind Pilates Academy®, are not just building a brand; they're pioneering a global Pilates revolution rooted in education, empowerment, and excellence.

Cloe Sommadossi’s Pilates journey began nearly three decades ago in Milan, where she was introduced to the method at the age of 14. “Over the years, I had the privilege of learning from some of the world’s most revered educators. Through two of my mentors, I’m actually a third-generation Pilates instructor,” she shares. But her knowledge extends far beyond Pilates. With training in yoga, Garuda, Gyrotonic, and manual therapy, Cloe developed a multidisciplinary understanding of movement—something that deeply informs the Pilates Academy® methodology today.

“What became clear over time,” she explains, “was the need for education that’s structured, rooted in science, and still respectful of the original method. Pilates Academy® grew out of that need.” Today, her academy offers a layered yet clear teaching approach focused on anatomy, critical thinking, and uncompromising professional standards.
