Sia is a Certified Classical Pilates teacher with a passion for movement and love of learning and discovery. She earned a Masters Degree in fitness and recreation from Kyiv National University of Sport and Physical Recreation in 2016. From there, her curiosity led her to a yoga certification which then led her to discovering and falling in love with the Pilates method, which she’s been teaching since 2017.

In Sia’s words… “Pilates is the perfect method for transforming the body into its best, most vital, strong, and aligned version. I’ve seen firsthand how it enhances not only physical health but also other disciplines. In my own experience, it has deeply improved my practice of contact improvisation dance, helping me feel more connected, grounded, and free in movement during my spare time.”

Sia completed Noam Gagnon’s Beyond Pilates 500-hour Bridge Teacher Training Program graduate in June of 2024. She’s also certified with Lolita’s Legacy Pilates Teacher Training Program, and is Prenatal and Postnatal Pilates certified.

A graduate of Somática femina in Instituto Macuil and graduate of Introduction to Somatic Psychology training with Annie Brook, Sia is a somatics practitioner & facilitator which focuses on “waking up the body” to achieve your body’s full potential.

She lives by Thonas Hanna as a personal motto: “The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one’s being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated.” It is an honor for me to witness the body process.
