Irina’s journey into the world of Pilates began about 15 years ago when she started taking Matwork and Reformer classes at a local studio. Having tried other forms of exercise over the years, she always returned to Pilates which left her feeling challenged and energized.

She believes that Pilates is one of the safest exercises there is when done with mindful approach and proper body alignment. Irina is Comprehensively Certified through Power Pilates. She has also taken workshops with world-renowned instructors, such as Inelia Garcia and Mejo Wiggin. Her special interest is in the therapeutic side of pilates, particularly scoliosis. Irina is certified in Modules 1 and 2 through Scolio-Pilates.

She feels incredibly lucky to be part of the Providence Pilates community that brings so many talented teachers together.
