Georgina was inspired and led to teaching through her personal practice as a yoga & pilates student. She has been working on the body, mind & wellness for the last 8 years while she attended the BASI (Body Arts Science International) training program in 2021 where she was certified with her diploma, internationally recognized all over the world. Her body reflects the dance she has loved since she was a child and thus her practices are reminiscent of a choreography. In her teachings she wants to guide you to feel your uniqueness. Practicing Pilates with her will lead you to activate the right muscles, mobilize your joints, get a stronger body and connect with your breathing.
