Who we are

For the past five years, we have shared a dream: to create more than just a Pilates studio. We envisioned a space where people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired — a place where community and movement come together in a meaningful way. Today, that dream is becoming a reality.

Khôra was born from our desire to build connection through wellness. We believe movement has the power not only to strengthen the body, but to cultivate confidence, resilience, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Having lived in many parts of the world, Katya developed a deep appreciation for people, culture, and connection. Her experiences shaped a natural love for bringing individuals together, and Khôra is the embodiment of that vision — a space designed to foster community and shared growth.

Michael has always been drawn to the fitness industry and the transformative power of feeling your very best. After completing his XFormer training course, he became a certified instructor, excited to share his knowledge and energy with others. His approach blends challenge with encouragement, helping every client discover their strength — both physically and mentally.

Together, we’ve created Khôra as a welcoming and empowering environment where you can challenge yourself, grow stronger, and feel supported every step of the way. Whether you’re new to Pilates or experienced in your practice, our goal is simple: to help you move with intention, feel your best, and find your place within our community.

We can’t wait to welcome you.
