About Devika

Devika (she/they) is a holistic Pilates facilitator and professional dance artist originally from NYC. As a young working dancer Devika experienced 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 (Now Kinected), 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 have experience with osteoporosis, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, chronic neck and back pain, students undergoing gender reassignment surgery, folks living with MS, and has certifications in Pre and Post-Natal Pilates. Pilates with Devika is an online platform with a digital content library, live virtual class as well as one-on-one sessions. Devika has experience in teaching Pilates in boutique studios from Brooklyn to Malibu, in home sessions for clients on Park Avenue and community class for low-income artists, fundraisers for mutual aid, in corporate boardrooms, for young dancers, in University settings as well as the nation's first radically inclusive, gender neutral gym. Devika’s range of experience of nearly twenty years in the Pilates world has given them a robust toolbox for approaching Pilates pedagogy. Devika believes Pilates should be fun :) - and that movement and somatic self inquiry is a radical practice of pleasure and should be accessible to all bodies!
