A lifelong fitness enthusiast, Tanya discovered and fell in love with Pilates in 2005 and started her journey with both Mat and Reformer classes. She was amazed at the whole body approach and results and believed in the method so much that she wanted to share it with others. Her adventures in teaching began in 2008, teaching Mat Pilates classes at a local gym and she hasn’t looked back since then.

Tanya completed RTR Pilates’ group reformer instructor certification in 2013 and then in 2016 she completed her Balanced Body comprehensive training program. Tanya is a member of the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) and regularly attends their Annual Conference for continuing education and indulges her inner pilates nerd by attending various specialized pilates workshops whenever they pass through the DC area.

Tanya enjoys all aspects of teaching and is a passionate movement specialist that works for several studios in both Washington DC and Maryland where she teaches group mat classes, group reformer classes and private sessions. She is also a guest instructor, consultant and workshop presenter at Right Balance Pilates and recently became a Master Instructor for the RBP Teacher Training program. When attending one of her classes, workshops or private sessions you can expect in-depth cueing, insightful/varied teaching, functional full body connections and a bit of humor to balance it all out.
