Who am I?
Hello, I'm Zoya
I have been passionate about a healthy body and mind all my life.
After getting my degree in pedagogy at the University of Vinnitsya (Ukraine), I immersed myself in the natural movements and strengthening of the human body using the Pilates method.
After numerous courses, internships and a lot of hard work, I obtained the degree of Certified Pilates Teacher and Movement Coach .
I was in charge of the Atlant fitness club with over 25 teachers and 5,000 active members in my hometown Vinnitsya for over 10 years. During that period I continued to teach my Pilates & Step classes.
As from 2012, I started a new life chapter with my own Studio Zoya in Belgium. This has allowed me to focus even more on my passion: a healthy mind in a healthy body.
I always enjoyed passing on my knowledge and passion. I have trained more than 10 students to become certified Studio Zoya Pilates Coach.
The Pilates method is evolving, and I too have continued to evolve. Through training courses, seminars and conventions at home and abroad. I started to focus on Polestar Pilates, a new Pilates method that combines the most recent medical insights with a holistic approach. I am also a certified relaxation and yoga coach.
My broad knowledge and extensive experience allow me to offer specific exercises for the treatment of golfer’s elbow, back problems, hyperventilation etc…
And now I am starting a new chapter with Studio Zoya in Spain, in Las Colinas, Orihuela Costa!
I offer both group classes and individual sessions under the Spanish sun. No two bodies are the same, so each participant receives individual attention, also during the group sessions. That is my signature approach.
My classes are in English, Dutch and soon also in Spanish.
Hope to see you soon!
Zoya
