Portrait of Arianna Ballanti
Meet Arianna

Movement has always felt like a way home.

My relationship with movement began with 15 years of dance training. It taught me discipline, expression and how much we can learn by paying attention to the body.

Today, I’m a certified yoga and Pilates teacher. I blend strength, mobility and breath to help you feel more grounded, more capable and more at home in your body. No pressure to perform. No perfect shapes required.

I teach group classes, private sessions and wellbeing experiences, and I create thoughtful content and brand strategies for people shaping the wellness world.

Come as you are. We’ll move from there.

Windmill Rituals yoga gathering at Molen van West
Omnia · Windmill Rituals

Movement as a visual language.

Windmill Rituals was a recurring immersive gathering combining yoga, breathwork and ritual at Molen van West.

The challenge

Communicate the feeling of the experience without over-explaining it.

Approach

Visual-first reels and photography shaped around rhythm, atmosphere and the physical reality of each gathering. Text supported the mood rather than leading it.

OutcomeA recognisable visual world used across multiple editions, capturing the light, movement, breath and shared stillness of the experience.

“Arianna is super nice and very energetic. I love joining her lessons. A real mood booster. Highly recommend.”
ClassPass user
“Arianna is a great guide. With her serene voice and smooth movements, she helps to create a relaxing space. She pays attention to all participants.”
ClassPass user
“It was my last class with Arianna today as I am moving back to the U.K. later this week. I have so enjoyed practising with her on Tuesday evenings—she is a fantastic instructor and a lovely person! She has such a calming energy and always takes time to correct her class members where necessary. If, like me, you find yoga to be very personal and you’re looking for the right instructor, I highly recommend going to Arianna’s class—I guarantee you won’t look back!”
ClassPass user
“A challenging and very fun class. Arianna offers great options for adjusting the difficulty. I always leave the class feeling stronger but not exhausted. I can definitely recommend it!”
ClassPass user
“Arianna delivers a superb Pilates class that is true to its Joseph Pilates roots, with warmth, skill and motivation.”
ClassPass user
“Arianna is the best! I’ve been going to her classes for more than three years and it’s my absolute favourite. Her teaching is gentle and slow, but quite intense, and I love that her class is actual Pilates focused on muscle strength and control—not a funky high-intensity version of it.”
ClassPass user
“Love Arianna’s classes. She is just cool and driven by passion.”
