Arina Djakova has been teaching Pilates classes and courses across London since 2012. But, Pilates came to Arina's life much earlier. Arina has a background in dance and sports. From her own experiences, she knows how much our bodies depend on strength of core muscles in everyday life and how important it is to train the core to prevent injury. Arina has a true passion for Pilates.
