I've been a dancer and choreographer for over 25 years. I still work as an artistic director of performance companies. Over the years, I studied dance alongside a wide range of body-based approaches, from Corrective Movement and Fighting Monkey to Yoga, DNS, PBT, Kinesiological Stretching and Reiki. I also coordinated and taught the Body & Movement Department at a theatre school for ten years.

I'm endlessly curious about people and the body.

My journey began as a dancer, choreographer and singer, but over the years my fascination shifted towards understanding how the body moves, adapts and heals.

Ballerina Body® was built on over 25 years of research combined with professional own-body and hands-on experience. Inês has developed a global approach based on various body techniques, including ballet, pilates, floor barre, yoga, modern dance, and rehabilitation techniques. The approach focuses on correcting movement patterns, muscle strengthening, and flexibility improvement.

Each technique offers something unique.

Rather than following one method, I combine what serves each individual body best — always respecting its condition, its history, and its needs. Not all exercises are good for every body. :)

Ballerina Body® is built on this flexible way of thinking — always searching for better ways to support better bodies and, ultimately, better lives.

Today my work continues through two complementary paths.

Ballerina Body®, where movement is the foundation.

The Knowing Body, where movement, breath, and the nervous system come together in a deeper practice of self-awareness.
