About Us

About Us

Soho Studio

Nathalie and Risa’s journey began during their Pilates teacher training, where they quickly discovered their shared passions for home cooking, matcha, pilates and their beloved dogs. Their bond deepened over discussions on interior design, art, and their mutual belief in the power of movement as medicine.
Both coming from corporate backgrounds, they are hard-working, self-made women who empower each other daily with honesty and authenticity. Their dynamic partnership seamlessly integrates professionalism with a lively sense of joy and positivity.
Their quest for the perfect Pilates studio led them to a realization: they couldn’t find a space that truly embodied their vision. Thus, they embarked on a mission to create their own sanctuary—a haven where members could experience tranquility, escape, and revitalization.

Located in the heart of Old Town, our studio embraces the belief that Old Town is Geneva’s equivalent of a Soho district. We see nurturing the body as an art form, which is why we’ve chosen the name ‘Soho Studio’

Our vision is to craft a beautiful and aesthetic space showcasing thoughtfully curated pieces for sale. We are dedicated to collaborating with local and emerging artists, providing them with a platform to showcase their work and gain the recognition they deserve.

Our mission at Soho Studio is to create a sanctuary where movement, community, and mindful living converge, welcoming all to embrace self discovery and well being in a space that feels like home.

Who we are

Meet the Founders

Risa Fukushima

Co-Founder

She’s half Japanese, half Filipina and was born and raised in South Africa, living in 7 countries before settling in Geneva, Switzerland, where she worked in the trading industry. Risa had a wake-up call in 2023 when she suddenly lost her father to stage 4 cancer, which led her to reevaluate her life direction and well-being. Leaving behind her career in trading, she pursued Pilates, finding solace and mental strength in its practice. Now a fully certified Pilates instructor, Risa dedicates her journey and Soho Studio to her father’s memory. Through her work, she aims to promote well-being in her community and instil a love for Pilates in her daughter.

Nathalie Teboul

Co-Founder

She’s half Swiss and half French, born and raised in New Zealand. Originally from a business and marketing background, Nathalie’s life took a profound turn when her family members faced terminal illnesses. This prompted her to fully immerse herself in everything related to health and the prevention of illness. She then went on to pursue certifications in holistic nutrition and integrative health coaching.

Along her journey, she discovered that movement was her true medicine and a way for her to deeply connect with her body. After many years of self-practice, she decided to enroll in a Pilates Teacher Training to become certified. This is where she met Risa, and they instantly bonded over their shared dream of someday opening a studio. Fast forward a few months and here we are!

Soho Studio's introduction of a weekly men's class is a game-changer. It's refreshing to find such inclusivity in a pilates studio, and the workout was both challenging and rewarding. Plus, the central location and impeccable design make it a top-notch experience.

I had private session at Soho Studio and walked out feeling a new energy. As a beginner to reformer the teacher corrected my posture and made me feel safe on the machine. After the class I was offered a cold towel and a tea which made the experience rejuvenating.
