|
|
<p className="text-gray-600 mb-4">
|
|
I came to movement as a way to feel good in my body and begin healing emotions I hadn't yet processed. It started simply—with home yoga classes—and slowly turned into something much deeper.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p className="text-gray-600 mb-4">
|
|
Eventually, I joined a two-year foundational dance program at a dance school in Berlin, where I was first introduced to Pilates. One of my teachers recommended it to help me build strength and develop the kind of body awareness that could support my dancing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p className="text-gray-600 mb-4">
|
|
My first Pilates class was... okay. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was surprised by the minimalist approach and the detailed verbal cueing. But by the second class, something shifted—I was hooked. Within a month, I was completely sold, not just by the method but by the transformation I saw and felt in my own body.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p className="text-gray-600 mb-4">
|
|
That experience led me to enrol in a comprehensive teacher training program rooted in the classical repertoire and as close as possible to the original method, aligned with the German Pilates Association. Today, I teach both mat and equipment Pilates—including the Reformer, Wunda Chair, Cadillac, and Spine Corrector.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p className="text-gray-600 mb-4">
|
|
My goal is to help others reconnect with their bodies, build deep, functional strength, and move with more ease and confidence in their daily lives.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p className="text-gray-600">
|
|
Having had movement as an integral part of my healing and personal development for the past 8 years, I've explored not only Pilates, but also martial arts like Capoeira and Parkour, alongside dance. Through this journey, I came to realize that movement is a powerful game changer—not just for the body, but also on a psychological and neurological level. It transforms us from passive observers into people who feel grounded in their strength and capable of taking agency in different areas of life.
