My name is Valeriya and I am a 3rd Generation Classical Pilates Instructor, comprehensively certified (600 hours) by Real Pilates in Hong Kong's Flex Studios.

As a professional circus artist of 22 years, I understand the gruelling effects the body endures during athletic training. Years of working on a favoured side of the body lead to me developing functional scoliosis, rotator cuff issues as well as suffering from lower back pain. 

I discovered Pilates to support my body and prolong my performing career, and quickly realised how it can help me stay injury free, recover from performances better and maintain the strength I required between shows. The Classical system follows an order and is almost like a choreographed performance in it self. Transitions become part of the work. 

I quickly understood that Pilates can help people from all walks of life. Be it a triathlete or a new mum. It will challenge you in new ways every time!

I am currently pregnant with my first child and am using my Pilates knowledge to maintain strength and prepare my self for delivery. I am looking forward to continuing the practice in my post natal journey. 

​

Pilates is a wonderful system (using many pieces of equipment, not just the reformer as popular as that is) which teaches you how to be in control of your body, not at its mercy. You will gain knowledge which you can take with you wherever you go in the world, even with simple mat based exercises. I can not wait to meet you!
