About the Instructors
Meet Aurora and TK: Passionate Instructors of Pilates and Aerial Acrobatics
Aurora's childhood was filled with ballet, jazz, and modern dance, but her journey soon took a turn when she was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 13. Aurora discovered the benefits of pilates for managing pain and muscle imbalances, ultimately leading her to become a certified BASI pilates teacher. Her love for aerial silks began later when she saw a mesmerizing outdoor performance. Now, Aurora is interested in combining pilates and aerial arts practices to help improve core strength, flexibility, balance, and overall body awareness.
​
Aurora Currently teaches Pilates at the BASI Pilates Academy of Amsterdam.
TK discovered her passion for all things fitness related through her extensive background in high-level gymnastics. Her unique teaching style emphasizes building a deeper understanding of the body and developing skills with confidence. TK's programs combine Pilates-inspired movements, various aerial practices, calisthenics, and weightlifting to help clients of all levels achieve their goals while focusing on injury prevention and mobility. She currently teaches private lessons and group classes at Oasi Sorgente in Italy.
​
Both originally from the US, Aurora and TK met in Amsterdam while doing an aerial silks course. They became fast friends and have worked together on various performances and completed the BASI teacher training together. They love working together and continue to inspire and challenge each other's skills and artistry.
