​

Movement has always been a significant part of Katya’s life. Her strong understanding of movement is provided by her gymnastics background. Growing up in Russia, Katya participated in rhythmic gymnastics and went on to do competitive cheerleading as she made the move with her family to Canada. She discovered Pilates as a way to not only enhance her rehabilitation and training but also to prevent further injuries.  In her spare time, Katya enjoys being active, painting, spending time with her dog Leo and trying new things.

​

Katya has dedicated herself to pursuing her passion in movement education by continuously learning and seeking new insights into the world of holistic movement. This background offers a different set of eyes and a new way of looking at health in relation to movement. Katya believes everyone is unique and requires an individualized approach. She hopes to use her knowledge to tailor programs to each individual’s needs and goals.
