ZAÏNA

International Lecturer in Pilates, Fitness and Personal Training

Pilates Master Teacher At 36 years old, Zaïna embodies the meeting between discipline, sensitivity and transmission. A former high-level athlete from gymnastics, she grew up with the demands of movement, the precision of gestures and the deep connection to the body. It was during a period of life marked by bereavement that she discovered Pilates, not as a simple physical practice, but as a real refuge. A discipline that allows him to rebuild himself, to refocus and to find inner balance. After more than 10 years in the field of tourism technology, she chose a bold reconversion, guided by a deep conviction: that of sharing the benefits of Pilates with the women of her region. On February 7, 2026, she made this vision a reality by launching the very first Pilates studio in Tizi Ouzou, a space designed as a cocoon of well-being, listening and transformation.
