Meet the Business Owner

Lena O.

Business Owner

At a very early age Lena showed a keen interest in music and dance. When she was five years old Lena took her first piano and dance lesson, and by the time she graduated from high school dancing had become her life. All the hard work and discipline paid off when she graduated, with Honors, from the very prestigious College of Music and Choreography in Ukraine. In 1993 Lena moved to Santa Barbara and started teaching ballet at The Music Academy of the West and Dance Unlimited. Shortly thereafter, she received the opportunity to learn and teach Pilates. Now she is just as passionate about Pilates as she was about dance and constantly uses her knowledge of body awareness and movement to complement her 20 years of teaching the Pilates Method.

Lena received her Pilates Method Certification in 1998 from Rael Isacowitz, who is a world-​renowned Pilates guru. In addition, she had the honor and privilege to teach the Pilates Method in London, Riga, and at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theater of Ballet.
