Yulia

Instructor
Yulia is originally from Ukraine but grew up in Spain before moving to Southern California seven years ago. She has been practicing Pilates consistently for the past 3.5 years and earned her instructor certification this past April. Yulia was inspired to start teaching because of her own experience with a cyst in her hip—Pilates is the only thing that helps her manage the pain. Knowing many people with chronic pain or injuries who live happier, pain-free lives thanks to Pilates motivated her to begin her teaching journey. Her favorite part of teaching is helping people strengthen their mind-body connection and seeing how movement improves their lives. Yulia loves challenging her students and incorporating different equipment—not just the reformer—to keep her classes fresh and varied. A fun fact about Yulia is that fashion is her other big passion. She worked in the fashion industry for several years before switching her career path to Pilates.
