Yogalates: strength and ease

I am Milena, mother of two boys in Year 2 and Year 4. I have loved doing sports since I was a child. I played for the women's volleyball club in my home town. After having my first child, I started postnatal recovery training, and that is how the idea to start my career as a trainer was born. I completed a mat Pilates and yoga course, combining the exercises into what are known as yogalates workouts. My classes filled up quickly, and the next stage followed—opening a Pilates reformer studio. The interest was huge then, too. I built a team, and that led me to the next discipline to build on my skills, namely conditioning training. That, in turn, inspired the idea for conditioning gymnastics. All these variations are very well received by my clients. I believe in small, tight-knit groups so that I can give each person the necessary attention. I focus on mindful movement and helping people to tune into their bodies—knowing when to push harder and when to ease off. With LIVRA, I believe I am reaching the right people and those who are just starting out.
