Eva

I started  training  Ballet, Jazz and Modern Dance in Barcelona, when I was 6 years old, as I always knew it was my destiny. During a Ballet class (at 16 years old) I had my first injury and several very similar ones after that. I realized my right hip had more rotation than my left and this imbalance made me rotate my knee and injure it. I found a Pilates center in Barcelona call "Body Control" and started with that, pretty unknown technique at that time, to work on my flexibility, balance and strength. Since then, more than 20 years ago, I got hooked on Pilates. I kept dancing for many more years and Pilates was always my main form of working-out as it was keeping me strong, flexible, lean and injury-free. My career took me all over the world.  As I kept on dancing I kept on practicing Pilates and all kinds of disciplines, like Yoga, Aerobics, Body-Building, Water exercise, Step, Barre, Belly dancing, Zumba, etc. I got my first Fitness certification at 19 years old and since then, I never stopped studying! I'm a lover of creating movement to help others feel better, look better and to get their goals, stress-free. Pilates is my first choice to be able to put all my knowledge together to accomplish all of this and has allowed me to be creative in an effective and safe work out discipline. After I left the stage several years ago, I realized it was time for me to put all my knowledge together at work to service others. From Spain to France, Switzerland to Argentina, Mexico to Brazil, and finally, Japan to Las Vegas. This is the perfect place to do what I'm destined to do and you are a part of it.

Galina

She absorbed the New York’s dance world, studied Modern, Jazz and other contemporary techniques and eventually brought her knowledge back to Russia, where contemporary dance was just at it’s early stages.

She also danced with the Tina Croll Company, Eric Dunlap’s Forward Theatre and participated in the NY Fringe Festival among others.

In 2000 she went back to Moscow for 2 ½ years to teach at her Alma mater the Jazz O.K. School of modern techniques and Jazz. She specialized in teaching kids and young adults, which Jazz O.K. is world renown for. She also started teaching Pilates, studied to become a certified Personal trainer trough the Swedish school Sports Lab at the Moscow Sports University and studied modern dance improvisations techniques in Amsterdam with Anouk van Dijk.

She successfully completed a number of workshops at the Kane school of Core Integration and received her Masters Plates training at Body Tonic, a school which traces their methodology directly to Joseph Pilates. In her private practice she taught people of all ages, body types and worked with physically impaired people besides teaching at Body Tonic and Bally Total Fitness.

In 2009 She moved to Las Vegas and continues her studies in Fitness Therapy by ISSA.

Galina’s teaching philosophy centers around the three maxims:
1, You don’t have to be perfect, but learn to love yourself and be grateful for your own body
2, Get to know and feel your own body from the inside
3, Listen and understand the innate voice of your own body

This is how Joseph Pilates formed his technique and the way it can be best applied. The teacher guides the student to become his or her own best teacher.

Zeek

In 1993, Zeek Vincent being native to Akron, Ohio made a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada for a visit. After witnessing a performance by contortionists, he became fascinated and inspired to develop and understand their talent. Zeek investigated the contortionists wisdom, education and artistry. He started to follow the "path" of reading, study and the practice of Hatha Yoga. The journey led him to the technique of the Iyengar Method in 1994, embarking to pursue yoga professionally. He then was directed toward comprehending Chakras (i.e. aligning the spinal energies to reach kundalini), discovering how to reconnect mind/body back to the celestial source. Zeek made a transitional life change; planning to relocate to greater Las Vegas Valley starting 1995 fulfilling his passion with yoga.
Within two years of discipline, research, and utilizing his knowledge of Chakras he realized that, "We, as individuals are depleting our Life Force-daily! Due to blocked up and hardened energy. Before civilization had gyms, yoga was the first physical fitness exercise and has continued to be used for over 5,000 years. I am dedicating my life to re-introduce this art from my wisdom, transferring it to modern/technological society. I believe if we awaken the enthusiasm inside people toward tuning up' themselves emotionally and physically, we can get back into the excellent heath we were born with!"
