My name is Ilona, and I am a certified Pilates instructor accredited by Polestar Pilates, an internationally recognized organization. My journey into Pilates began after injuries sustained in professional gymnastics, which left me with a fear of never returning to sport and significant back pain. 

As there was no qualified trainer around, I had to become one myself. I discovered Polestar Pilates while doing rehabilitation exercises through videos, and I immediately appreciated its effective approach and fell in love with its detailed approach to anatomy, voice-guided cues, and vivid imagery that help you better feel each movement—even with your eyes closed.
