»I’m relatively young, but I’m also ancient. I start to look at my body as a possible book, that could open to spaces that written documents may not access.« – Faustin Linyekula
I’m a dance artist and Pilates instructor. To me, the body and its movements are teachers. My teaching is a journey in which I try to guide you inward to discover the incredible knowledge contained in your body and carry that back into your life. I won’t lie, the path includes meeting all the blockages on the way. I studied contemporary dance in SEAD (graduated in 2019, AT) and got my Pilates Teacher Diploma with BASI Pilates (Mat course, 2016). I’ve been teaching since 2016 and working as a dance artist since 2019.
The pelvis is the focus of my current work as a dance artist, which influences my teaching too. In the past year, I’ve been busy with movement research in which I explore ways of combining knowledge from subversive dance practices in which the pelvis is the protagonist (mainly Twerk, Belly dance, and Orly Portal Method) with pro-sex feminist and queer approaches.

Booty & Abs
Booty & Abs is a Pilates based workout focused on strengthening and toning the glutes, abdominals and legs. We move through a series of simple exercises with energizing music. A simple, straight forward and sweaty class to shake off the week and start the weekend with.

Power Pilates
Build control, core strength, balance, muscular endurance and flexibility in an intense Pilates class. Based on the Pilates method, Power Pilates is a full body workout focused on intensity and burning sensations.
