Svetlana Zakirova
 Certified Romana's Pilates Instructor & Head of ART OF PILATES ACADEMY
I am an internationally certified Pilates instructor trained in the renowned Romana's Pilates system – the world's gold standard and the only system that preserves the authentic method of Joseph Pilates, passing it down directly from generation to generation of teachers. This system guarantees the highest standards and uncompromised training quality.

I hold a Level 5 certification from Romana's Pilates International, which has given me unique, in-depth knowledge. I have studied directly under recognized master trainers – direct disciples of Joseph Pilates himself. To keep my expertise at the highest level, I annually renew and deepen my practice under the guidance of world‑renowned educators such as:
Sari Megia Santo level 1 from USA,
Cynthia Lochard level X from Australia,
Marjorie Oron level X from Hague,
Cynthia Shipley level 2 from USA,
Trish Garland level X from USA,
Jamie Trout level 2 from USA,
Javier Perez Pont level X from Spain.

With over 20 years of teaching experience, I now lead the international ART OF PILATES ACADEMY, where for the past five years I have successfully trained several generations of Pilates instructors – all while keeping the method authentic and true to its origins.

What makes my approach truly unique is my ability to blend the classical Romana's Pilates method with the latest research in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. This fusion allows my students not just to perform exercises mechanically, but to truly understand the profound depth of the Pilates method through the lens of modern science and current discoveries.
