I'm Nikita, a Pilates instructor passionate about empowering individuals to discover their inner strength and embrace a holistic approach to fitness. Having overcome cancer as a teenager, I've embraced a fitness philosophy that intertwines Pilates, yoga, and meditation, focusing on mindful movement guided by breath. My sequences aim to elongate the body, build strength, and foster a spiritual connection. Beyond physical fitness, my goal is to create a supportive community that inspires others to find their inner strength.
