Born in Moscow and raised with a deep appreciation for classical ballet and holistic health, Luba draws on a lifetime of influences — from the elegance of the Bolshoi Theatre to the pioneering medical work of her grandmother, a neurologist and acupuncturist. After earning her degree and building a successful career in Corporate Finance in New York City, Luba’s path shifted when she took her first Pilates class in 2006 with a 71-year-old former ballerina. Inspired by the strength and grace she witnessed, she began her own Pilates training and soon found herself immersed in the study of movement and rehabilitation.

For over seven years, Luba worked side-by-side with licensed physical therapists in clinical settings where she gained extensive experience in injury recovery, joint dysfunction, and postural correction. This background shaped her attentive and highly individualized approach to teaching — combining classical Pilates principles with therapeutic insight.

Today, Luba is known for her intentional, hands-on style, her deep understanding of body mechanics, and her ability to create a safe, liberating space for clients to reconnect with their strength — both physically and mentally.

Her mission through SILA PILATES is to guide people toward lasting, intelligent movement and a deeper trust in their bodies.
