ABOUT ME
Unlock Your Inner Calm
I have been involved in the fitness industry for over 30 years.
Firstly, as a competitor (former member of the Polish National High Board Diving Team), then as a Teacher and Trainer.
After moving to England, I qualified as an Exercise-to-Music and Body Pump Instructor with Les Mills.
My interest in body movement, postural alignment and wellbeing gained me qualifications with the Pilates Institute (Instructed by Michael King), in Advanced Mat Work.
In 2006 I gained my professional certificate in Iyengar yoga. Only certified Iyengar yoga teachers can display the certification mark, which allows us to teach under the BKS IYENGAR name.
As a personal trainer my London clients ranged from senior businessmen, politicians and high-profile members of society- goals ranged from weight loss to their first triathlon.
I believe in continual self-development and training to stay at the forefront of my profession. This is reflected in the excellent class attendance with satisfied loyal clients. I am proud that one of my clients was even featured in a Men’s Health magazine.
I am always striving to deepen my knowledge.
Teaching is my passion and I love helping students to achieve results they desire.
My classes are informative and fun and I adjust the levels to individual student needs.
