INTERNATIONAL SPORTS AEROBICS CHAMPIONSHIP, 1999 LION, FRANCE
After graduating from the American-Lithuanian Business College with a degree in Institutional Administration after school, I decided to pursue my childhood dream, I started studying at LAPE (Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education, now LSU), and chose to specialize in aerobics. While still studying, I had founded an aerobics club, as well as actively practiced aerobic gymnastics, participated in Lithuanian and international competitions.

I later continued my studies studying sports biomedicine and defended my doctorate. For many years I conducted various cardio trainings: classical aerobics, steppe, dance trainings, body design classes. I used to think that I don’t like and don’t like slow workouts, but after knee meniscus surgery, I started to go deeper into Pilates. I was already familiar with this methodology in the training of coaches from Russia and Brazil. I was interested in global trends, Pilates schools, I tried to understand how they differ, whether Pilates exercise methods are the same everywhere. In search of answers to my questions, I went to study in Greece and Ukraine.
