As an active human with hyper mobility, Odessa first found pilates as a way to rehab through her own injuries. Pilates helped her find pathways through pain, tools to feel more capable, strong and understand her body better. To connect with her breath, stability and how different parts of the body work together.
Odessa completed her pilates teacher training at the Kane School for Core Integration in 2024. Since then she has worked in and around New York City at small local studios, namely; Inspira Physical Therapy, Good Time Pilates & Lula Body.
As an instructor, she has honed in on exploring pilates with people experiencing chronic pain and orthopedic conditions. Simultaneously, Odessa maintains the ability to challenge anyone who walks into the room. She is skilled in working with people experiencing hyper mobility, EDS, POTS, chronic pain, and orthopedic injury. She also works with those who are pre/post natal.
