Nat's journey with movement began at the age of 6, when she started classical choreography. She was then introduced to Pilates in a fitness studio in Kyiv, where she worked as a personal trainer and used both Pilates and Gyrotonic equipment. Since then, her interest has grown into a desire to learn more.
