Bio: devika (pronounced "dey-vih-kah" :)) is a dancer, performing artist, and holistic Pilates facilitator originally from NYC. Diving into dancing professionally led to a painful and repeated injury, and dancing through the pain became unsustainable. Through the discovery of the dynamic possibilities of Pilates, devika became able to better understand her movement patterns and offer sustainable care for her dancing body. devika is certified through the Kane School of Core Integration, a program that integrates Classical Pilates Method with sound biomechanical principles and focus on injury prevention. They have worked with students of all levels and has experience with osteoporosis, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, chronic neck and back pain, students undergoing gender reassignment surgery, folx living with MS, and has certifications in Pre and Post-Natal Pilates. devika believes movement and somatic self inquiry is a radical practice of pleasure and should be accessible to all bodies. devika offers online videos and instruction and teaches live in person class at Everybody Los Angeles everybodylosangeles.com, the nation's first radically inclusive, gender neutral gym that advocates for fitness for all.
