Testimonials about Evgenia
"I love taking Pilates classes led by Evgenia! She makes sure that I complete the exercises precisely (no cheating!), gives great direction (perfect for visual learners), and makes it fun (sweat and smile). I can't wait to go on her retreats!" - Charmaine S.
"Evgenia is one of the most energetic teachers I know. Each session with her is not only challenging for my body but therapeutic for my mind. I truly enjoy working out with Evgenia!" - Amy B.
"I first got to know Evgenia while she was training to be a Pilates instructor. I was just starting out in Pilates and made the mistake of signing up for a class that was, much to my surprise, an advanced class that only apprentices took. Right from that first moment, Evgenia started teaching me. Not only would she help guide me and cue me when needed, but she inspired me to challenge myself and work harder. As soon as Evgenia was certified I made sure to jump in every class she had available. Her style of tough love teaching motivates her students to defy their preconceived notions of what they "think" they can do and break through to the next level." - Rachel M.
