Oxana

Arriving in the USA from the former USSR in 1992, Oxana is a proud Russian American and former rhythmic gymnast. She began teaching barre in the classic Lotte Berk method in 1999, bringing unmatched passion for form, posture, and disciplined, focused movement. In 2017, Oxana survived a life-changing stroke. Doctors predicted she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, but she had a better plan. Drawing on her deep knowledge, commitment, and love for barre technique, she worked her way out of the wheelchair and reclaimed full, independent living. Oxana teaches with the same unstoppable spirit that carried her through recovery. Her philosophy: Assemble form. Commit. Put effort in the right direction. Succeed. Come experience her strength, her story, and her signature approach to barre.
