“Change your thoughts and you change your world”
-Norman Vincent Peal
Hey, I'm Louisa!
Here's a little bit about me. I am 24 years old and am currently working towards my Master of Science in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Exercise Physiology at Washington State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition with an option in Dietetics with minors in Public Health and Health Management and Policy along with a certificate in Gerontology from Oregon State University in June, 2024. During my time at OSU, I gained experience as a sports nutrition intern working for the D1 athletes and as a DSP employee.
Yoga become a regular part of my life in 2018, after I graduated from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and moved from Russia back to the USA. I had fallen in love with the practice and the healing effects it had on my life, and by November of that year I became a registered yoga teacher (RYT). I have gone on to further pursue certifications in kids and family yoga as well as breathwork, mediation, and mindfulness. I taught kid yoga classes from 2019 through the start of 2020, until COVID-19 impacted my studio's ability to host these classes. It was in the end of 2020 that I started Yogi On Pointe.
