LARA HASSAN / FOUNDER

It began
with a question.

How can a deeper understanding of the body change the way we move?

FOUNDER & CREATOR OF THE BODYBYLARA™ METHOD

CHAPTER 01 / 04

A life of asking why.

Growing up in Lebanon, Lara was drawn to literature, philosophy and the study of people. Movement, art and an early interest in yoga became part of that curiosity.

“I have always been fascinated by the study of humans and the body.”Lara Hassan

THE THREAD THROUGH THE PRACTICE

Many influences.
One considered approach.

BodybyLara brings together Pilates, resistance work and dance influences. Explore three ideas that shape the method.

Pay attention to the movement.

Posture and technique shape the practice. The BodybyLara approach brings Pilates precision into dynamic sequences, with attention to how the body moves through each one.
