Hi there, 
​
I'm Aya, if you don't know me already! I am a dancer, choreographer & a Yoga, Pilates and Fitness instructor. 

Yoga & Pilates keeps me grounded, sane and healthy & I love to share this practice with others. 

Fancy to join me?
I am currently teaching in person in Bronx, NY & online so you can practice with me from anywhere in the world! My classes are fun, relaxing, invigorating & mostly in the mornings!  Check out my offerings and also feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a class for you or your organization!
