I was in love with the movements and dance since my early childhood. I started dancing ballet at age 7 and completed my education in ballet at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. I then danced professionally in several companies in Europe and finished my carrier in the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) in 2015.

During my NDT time, I had a severe injury of a herniated disc. Not only I was not able to dance, I was in a very bad condition where I had trouble sitting, standing, and lying down. Every morning, I would wake up with weakness in my legs that I needed help to get change into normal clothes and it took almost 1 hour until my legs were not shaking. I was advised to operate, however I was determined to try other options before deciding for a surgery. While unsuccessfully trying many conventional therapies, GYROTONIC® method played the key role in my recovery and avoided surgical intervention and was able to dance again on stage. My doctor has also told me it would probably be difficult to be pregnant with my back, but I had no problem during the pregnancy not only once but twice. Because of such good results, it motivated me to become certified GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® trainer.

I am more than happy to share all the possibilities of GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® method to everyone who’s interested in.
