ABOUT ME
I do this all for the love of movement.
After I developed my own “Contrology” Pilates Teacher Training Program I taught it throughout Europe (Austria, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Switzerland, Croatia, Cyprus) and gave Master Classes at Pilates and Fitness conventions in Vienna, Essen (FIBO), Budapest, and Zagreb. My initial Pilates training was through B.A.S.I. and Peak Pilates, USA, and am a PMA (Pilates Method Alliance) certified Pilates Professional since 2006.
I have over eighteen years of Pilates teaching experience, working with a wide spectrum of people. Understanding the knowledge, depth, and importance of the pure Pilates Method of Body Conditioning is a continuous experience which I keep exploring while working with different bodies and mind sets.
My students range from 9 to 93 years old and, over the years, have included professional bodybuilders, swimmers, dancers, golfers, musicians, circus artists, as well as people with injuries and different health conditions.
Having experienced pre/postnatal body changes myself, I have led many students through and beyond their pregnancy journey with joy and success. After recently surviving cancer and understanding the challenges that go with it, I am here to help people going through similar life situations as well.




I am also a professional Aerobics, Dance, Step, and Zumba Master trainer educated in Munich, Germany and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As a classically trained pianist I have Bachelor and Master degrees from University of Belgrade (Serbia), and Vienna (Austria) University for Music and Performing Arts in Piano Performance & Piano Pedagogy, and Chamber music performance.
I have won numerous National competitions and performed in Europe and the United States.
Including Pilates, I have 33 years of experience as a pedagogue in Piano, Dance and Aerobics. .
PILATES
-
Teaching Pilates in its original form – the way Joseph designed it
-
Using a systematic order of exercises
-
Linking exercises seamlessly with transitions for one flowing movement
-
Focusing on flow to develop stamina and endurance (and yes, those gorgeous lean muscles!)
-
Adapting training to EVERYBODY (from injured students to elite athletes)
-
Teaching progressive and systematic sessions
-
Teaching students to work with a quiet mind, using the 6 Pilates Principles
-
Teaching Pilates as a movement system linked with specific purpose
-
Using Mat and Classical Pilates Apparatus (by Gratz Industries, L.L.C, and Pilates Designs by Basil), knowing that Pilates Body Conditioning Method is a clever mix of all pieces of Equipment invented by Joseph Pilates
-
Teaching students to gradually work independently, by giving them “homework” (mostly Mat exercises, since everybody nowadays has a mat at home), that way they progressively own the system and can use the Method on their own, away from “Pilates Point DC”.

CONTROLOGY
Contrology is a movement system that was created and named by Joseph Hubertus Pilates
“Trust the system! The system works!”
A movement system has a goal to:
-
Improve the ability of the deep muscles to guide and control the movement
-
Focus on improving motor control
-
Focus on quality of movement over quantity
-
Produce and control movement within the functional range Classical Pilates meets all of these elements, and helps the body to transform.
-
Joseph Pilates created the very unique Apparatus, based on spring resistance: The springs provide assistance and resistance and help the body learn faster
-
It helps you to really feel how to move from your center because of the support provided by the springs
-
It challenges your stability with its unstable surfaces
-
It was created to support the Mat Work


Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind, fully capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.”
— Joseph Hubertus Pilates
BENEFITS AND GOALS
PILATES is a conscious way back to our bodies.
-
Healthier Life (Body-Mind-Soul awareness)
-
Alignment, Moving Pattern and Breathing are in direct connection with self-esteem, energy and Body “feeling”
-
In what directions do I move my spine in a Pilates session? You will learn to move you spine in so many different directions you never did before. Joseph Pilates used to say:
“You are only as old as your spine is”. In other words, if your spine is rigid at 18, you are old. If your spine is flexible at 75, you are young.
PILATES PRINCIPLES:
-
Concentration
-
Centering
-
Precision
-
Control
-
Breathing
-
Flowing Movement
ENGRAMS:
Repeated moves become muscle memory and register in your brain. Did you know that a human body needs ca. 5000 repetitions in order to memorize the move? That is called motoric memory, vital to Pilates training.
“One of the major results of Contrology is gaining the mastery of the mind over the complete control of your body.”
Joseph Hubertus Pilates
