Movement has been a big part of Evgenia’s life for more than 15 years. Originally from Russia, she trained as a professional dancer and graduated with a BA in Modern Theatre Dance from the Academie voor Theater en Dans in Amsterdam. Alongside her dance career, Evgenia has performed regularly with Dutch National Opera & Ballet. Her years as a professional dancer have given her a deep understanding of the body, movement and the importance of building strength while taking care of the body.

Her own journey with Pilates began from a personal need. After years of intensive movement, she experienced tension and discomfort in her neck. Pilates became an important part of her practice, helping her build strength, improve her posture and feel more connected to her body. It also allowed her to return to dance with a stronger and more conscious approach to movement.

Evgenia completed her Classical Mat Pilates Teacher Training at Smartbody, with a focus on anatomy, biomechanics, posture and mindful movement.

In her classes, Evgenia combines her professional dance experience with her Pilates knowledge and a calm, supportive approach. She pays close attention to breathing, alignment, control and the small details that make movement feel both effective and enjoyable.

Her classes begin with a calm and grounded atmosphere and gradually build in strength and energy as the body becomes more awake and connected. You can slow down, challenge yourself and enjoy the process  leaving the studio feeling stronger, refreshed and re-energised.

With her warm presence and soothing voice, Evgenia creates a welcoming space where you can reconnect with your body and take a moment for yourself. Her goal is to help you feel more at home in your body and discover that movement can be both powerful and gentle.
