My Pilates journey started in 2012 soon after I arrived to Poland as an expat in Procter & Gamble, large international corporation.What at the beginning was just great help to de-stress after a long work, later Pilates became part of me, my greatest area of interest, my hobby and my obsession at the same time.
In 2015 I completed Diamond Pilates Academia teacher certification programs for MAT, Chair, and Reformer with Ilona Wlodarczyk, PMA CPT.
In 2020, I graduated the comprehensive Lineage Pilates Education program with Jacqueline Martin, 2nd generation graduate of “The Work” ™ with Jay Grimes/Vintage Pilates, LA .
In the beginning of 2021 I completed the entire series of 60 hours of study in workshops in Vintage Pilates ‘Weekends with Jay” program, specially designed for a group of 20 certified pilates teachers world-wide to broaden their knowledge and preserve the original work as Joseph Pilates taught it, under the guidance of Jay Grimes, 1st generation teacher.
In March 2021, I virtually completed both Spring and Winter TCH – ”Teacher Club House” program with Sandy Shimoda , Vintage Pilates where we discovered what we didn’t know about Joe’s method and how we can apply to our bodies.
In June 2022, I completed ‘‘The Process ” with Sandy Shimoda, Vintage Pilates Los Angeles studio where we will build the process of communicating Joe’s method through our teaching.
In Oct 2022, I hosted Classical Pilates Conference in Warsaw on Oct 15-16 in Ewa Park Spa&Life. Our conference presenters were fabulous Gloria Gasperi from Italy, Ken Krech from USA, Joel Crosby from USA and Murat Berkin from Turkey. We had participants from 12 different nations during 2 days of workshops and privates. Our sponsors were Legacy Pilates Apparatus,Contrology by Balanced Body and The Pilates Link.
