i.m.pilates
A boutique home studio tucked in midtown Toronto, designed for personalized, transformative movement. Sessions are always private, with space for up to three clients at a time. Fully equipped with reformer, tower, and mat, each program is designed to mix these modalities in a way that keeps you challenged, engaged, and progressing toward your goals. In this intimate setting, you’ll be supported with personal attention, expert guidance, and a practice that evolves alongside you.
ilana merkur
founder
Health and wellness has always been the foundation of my life. After a challenging and fulfilling career in the pharmaceutical industry, I decided to shift those values to the forefront by focusing fully on instructing Pilates—a practice that has given me balance, strength, and clarity.
I’m a fully certified STOTT PILATES® instructor, trained across all levels of mat, reformer, Cadillac, chair, barrels, and specialized work for injuries. This background allows me to design programs that are effective, adaptable, and responsive to your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
I opened I.M. PILATES to help people like you find your own grounding. My intention is to create a space where you can press pause, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling stronger, more centered, and better equipped to show up for the life you want to live.
approach
03 integrated
We consider the whole system, not just the workout—because strength means little without connection. By deepening the link between body and mind, you’ll move with more clarity, carry less stress, and feel a sense of balance that supports you well beyond the studio.
02 welcoming
Our studio is a private space dedicated exclusively to you and your session. Here, you receive undivided attention in an environment where you can let go of everything else and fully immerse yourself in your practice.
01 personalized
Every program is tailored to you: your goals, lifestyle, posture, occupation, abilities, and other unique considerations. If you’re recovering from an injury, we’ll work with your healthcare provider to incorporate your rehab seamlessly into your Pilates practice.

testimonials
customized programming eliminated my back pain
"I’m so happy I made the commitment to consistently show up for workouts with you. After years of putting my body through hell-by-exercise and hurting my back, you created a plan for me— stripping it back to foundational Pilates training to strengthen my core and build intensity safely through each full-body practice. Somehow, you eliminated my back issue! I look forward to every workout because you switch it up and keep it fun."
