Hi, I’m Monika - a passionate Pilates instructor with a Master’s Degree from Academy of Physical Education in Krakow, Poland. I’ve been in the fitness industry since 2003 and teaching Pilates since 2007, after completing the full repertoire through Balanced Body University in Dublin. In 2015, I began my journey into Classical Pilates and, in 2024, proudly completed the prestigious Master Program with The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado - often referred to as the “Harvard of Pilates.” I also completed various Anatomy Trains certificates to deepen my understanding of fascia, movement, and body integration. Since moving to Canada in 2015, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients - from Olympic athletes to post-rehab - always with a focus on intelligent, safe, and empowering movement. I believe Pilates is a powerful tool for transformation, healing, and lifelong vitality. My favourite quote? “Change happens through movement, and movement heals.” - Joseph Pilates. When I’m not in the studio, I’m out enjoying outdoor adventures with my two dogs - Misiu and Osito, and you’ll often find me mountain biking, dirt biking, or engrossed in a self development book, or diving into the latest research in movement science.
