🦢 Spring Choreography Workshop ✨

This May, I invite you to embody the softness, strength, and mystery of Odette in a special choreography workshop inspired by Act II of Swan Lake.

Odette is not just a role — she is a feeling. A delicate balance between vulnerability and control, lightness and precision. In this workshop, you’ll explore that duality through movement, learning an adapted version of this iconic variation in a way that feels both accessible and deeply expressive.

This is your chance to move beyond steps — to dance with intention, connect to music, and experience ballet as storytelling.

📅 Date: Saturday, May 23rd

May 6th, 9th and 14th
(Please let me know if you plan to attend — these sessions will help you feel more confident and comfortable with the choreography.)

Working with young dancers isn’t about pushing range — it’s about building control, stability, and longevity.

Gia is a talented ballet dancer ( who is training at ) is naturally hypermobile and also managing scoliosis. That means our focus is very intentional:

1. Strength over stretch, 2. Control over extremes, 3. Alignment over aesthetics

Through Reformer Pilates, we’re creating the kind of strength that supports her technique, protects her body, and allows her to perform at her highest level — not just now, but for years to come.

As a former professional ballerina, I know how demanding this path is… and how important it is to train smart early on.

Talent opens doors, but strength, awareness, and consistency keep them open.

PART 2

Sometimes the biggest win…
is simply feeling good in your body again.
And it's the time for yourself that you deserve 🩷

PART 1

Stories like this are why I believe so deeply in what I do.

Because it’s not about age.
It’s not about limitations.

It’s about finding a way to move that works with your body — not against it.

If you’re ready to feel stronger, safer, and more confident in your body again…
I’m here to guide you. 🤍

Thank you dear Tuija for your beautiful testimonial 🩷

Happy belated International Women’s Day 🌷

The other week my daughter came to watch our ballet class, and this moment stayed with me.

Behind us is a room full of incredible women — women who work, care for families, face challenges, and still show up to do something for themselves. Women who support each other, laugh together, and grow stronger together.

I love that my daughter gets to see this. That she grows up surrounded by women who take space, follow their passions, and lift one another up instead of competing.

I’m deeply grateful to the generations of women before us who fought for our rights and created more opportunities for us to live freely and choose our own paths.

My hope is that the next generation of girls grows up even braver and more powerful — in a world where equality is normal, and where every girl believes she can become exactly who she wants to be.

These women are already showing her how.

I can officially call myself a STOTT Pilates certified instructor!

This certification represents more than education — it represents over two years of discipline, commitment, and persistence, while navigating work, study, and motherhood with a small child by my side.

The journey asked for patience, flexibility, and trust in the process.
It taught me how much can be achieved with steady effort, support, and a clear vision.

At the end of 2023, I began my formal education with STOTT Pilates at the .aveiro . What followed was a deep, intentional journey into movement and teaching.

Mat Pilates — Essential, Intermediate, Advanced.
Reformer — Essential and Intermediate.
Prenatal and Postnatal education.

Each level completed separately.
Each phase requiring patience, focus, and responsibility.

Hundreds of hours were spent studying anatomy, refining technique, teaching, practicing, and learning how to truly support different bodies — safely, intelligently, and with care.

The journey culminated in rigorous certification exams, completed under one of the most respected Pilates education systems in the world .
This certification is not just an achievement — it’s a responsibility I’m proud to carry.

To everyone who supported me throughout this journey — my family, friends, mentors, clients, and especially those who believed in me — thank you. Your support made this possible.
I’m deeply grateful for the journey so far, and excited to continue guiding others through Pilates with knowledge, integrity, and heart. 🤍
