Tetyana was born and raised in Ukraine and moved to the United States in summer of 2007, at the age of 20.

Growing up, she did ballet and modern dance. Later in her 20’s, Tetyana started ballroom dancing, competing professionally in American Rhythm.

During her school years in Ukraine, Tetyana taught dance. After earning her Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations & Diplomacy from Kiev International University, she decided to move to United States.

In 2010, she moved to Las Vegas, NV from Steamboat Springs, CO for a new opportunity with her job. Living in a bigger city offered more chances to attend different yoga classes at several studios. Tetyana used yoga to help her deal with stressful work environment. The world of mind-body practice and her love of movement instantly inspired her to drastically alter her career and become a yoga teacher. Tetyana attended yoga teacher training at one of the biggest studios on the West Coast, Vegas Hot and received her 200 hour RYT, 100 hour Power Vinyasa and Kettlebells certifications. She completed her Pilates Mat I and II training shortly thereafter.

“My yoga practice changed my life completely and made me the person I am right now. Every class I taught felt like a ride to me, where I intended to create an experience and help my clients feel and understand the true meaning of mind-body connection.”

When Tetyana moved to Jacksonville, FL in 2011, she was fortunate to start teaching yoga at one of the boutique Pilates studio in Jacksonville Beach. There she was introduced to Reformer Pilates and instantly fell in love with the apparatus, amazed with the incredible results of the Pilates Method that Reformer has to offer. She completed her Reformer 1 and 2 training with Pilates first generation master trainers in Tampa, FL through Balanced Body Institute and started teaching Reformer group classes and private sessions. Later she was certified in Reformer 3 and Pilates Chair. At the same time Tetyana started teaching Barre – the world’s newest fitness trend back then and became obsessed with its results.

At the age of 26, Tetyana established Everbalance – her pride and joy and greatest passion in life. In the process of opening the studio she was certified as a Barre Master Trainer through American Council of Exercise (ACE). She created her own barre program, teaching courses and training new barre instructors at Everbalance.

“Everbalance is my dream, heart, and soul. I live it and breath it every day of my life. It’s been an amazing journey to get here and I am honored and humbled. It’s my privilege to welcome everyone who comes through our doors and share my passion for Pilates and all things movement.” At this time Everbalance only offers Pilates, which can truly provide everything one needs for one’s fitness journey. After 12 years, Tetyana has recently stepped down from teaching clients and now just takes care of the business side of things in the studio. She trains new Pilates instructors, helping them open up to their full potential. You may see her working out next to you when you come to class! “I love sharing my experience with new instructors. Seeing passion in their eyes and excitement about new opportunities truly makes my heart smile”.

In 2020, the Navy brought them to Jacksonville, where they’ve been happily settled ever since. Around that time, like so many others, Mariana discovered Pilates and it was love at first Eve’s lunge. A longtime long-distance runner, Mariana started exploring other forms of movement after dealing with knee injuries and rounds of physical therapy. Yoga and home workouts bridged the gap but it wasn’t until she found Pilates that everything clicked. She jokes she hasn’t missed a day on her mat or reformer since, “even if it’s 10 minutes, I will land on my mat at some point”. She’s thrilled to finally take the leap from passionate Pilates enthusiast to  instructor, turning her love of movement into a meaningful way to inspire others.
Mariana’s philosophy on movement? “I truly believe Pilates is foundational for every body at every stage of life. No matter what kind of movement you like or however you feel about movement all together, Pilates will help you live life better. It’s not about just moving, but about moving well: building strength, stability, and flexibility that supports functional movements of everyday life. Working in the medical field and healing from some major injuries myself, I’m constantly amazed by how intelligent the human body is. Getting stronger is so rewarding and finding a form of movement you love is the gift that keeps on giving. Pilates is for everyone and anyone in any season of life.”
Outside of Pilates, Mariana is a proud mom of three. You can find her chasing her kids around, cheering on the sidelines of their games, cooking something delicious, reading a good book, playing tennis, or at the beach! She truly can’t wait to move with you!

Ashley was born and raised in Jacksonville, and after moving over 15 times in her earlier 20s is excited to be settled back in her hometown more permanently. She is a double Gator, completing her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology in 2018, and then her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2021. After graduating she took an adventurous route into travel physical therapy contracts, mostly working with older adults in the home health setting. Along the way she met her Canadian husband who is immigrating to the US in the near future.

Ashley first encountered Pilates during a clinical rotation and received training on how to use the reformer and chair for rehab, especially with athletic clients. She later started taking Pilates classes at a studio and fell in love with how effective it was for building a resilient body and mind. The detailed attention to form and deep core stability really stood out to her. After practicing Pilates for 5 years, she pursued instructor certification through STOTT in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in the summer of 2024. She is certified in Mat and Reformer 1 (Essential and Intermediate levels).

“My first thoughts when I started Pilates were – everyone needs to be doing this! So many injuries could be prevented! I found that the Pilates exercises and principles were nearly identical to the foundational exercises I would teach my therapy patients to address dysfunction.”

In her classes, Ashley likes to emphasize the mind-body connection, spinal mobility, and posture, while also challenging functional strength. She also loves teaching private lessons to make Pilates highly personalized to everyone’s unique bodies, needs, and goals.

Outside of Pilates and PT, you can find Ashley baking sourdough treats, getting Vitamin D at the beach, or roaming around farmer’s markets.

Stephanie is a native Floridian and homeschooling mom of four who has a passion for Pilates and helping people reach their fitness goals. She first discovered mat Pilates after the birth of her 4th child, and fell in love with it. Stephanie has struggled with hypermobility and joint instability all her life (she has hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). Although she’s always been active and tried many types of physical activity, Pilates was the first form of exercise that helped relieve her pain and build stability in her body without putting added strain on her joints. She loved the way Pilates made her feel and enjoyed seeing the results that came from regular practice. Once she was introduced to reformer Pilates (at Everbalance!), her interest in the practice grew even more and she decided to pursue becoming an instructor.

As a partial owner and manager of a local holistic medical and physical therapy practice, Stephanie chose to complete her instructor training through Polestar because of the emphasis on rehabilitation and working with clients with chronic conditions or other limitations. She completed her instructor training for Mat levels 1 & 2, and Reformer levels 1-3 in 2023 and is currently taking a comprehensive training course through Polestar to become certified on additional equipment such as the trapeze table, chair, ladder barrel, and spine corrector. Stephanie believes that Pilates is for everybody and values progress over perfection. She finds great joy in seeing her clients progress over time and helping them find exercises or modifications that work for their bodies, regardless of any health conditions or injuries they may have. She shares, “It’s wonderful to see a client go from struggling to do an exercise to mastering it, and even finding ease in doing the same exercise only weeks or months down the road”. She has a particular interest in working with other individuals who have hypermobility, but enjoys working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. Stephanie’s goal is to create positive movement experiences for every client she teaches and help them grow in strength and confidence.

When she’s not teaching, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her family, traveling to new places, and cooking/eating delicious food.

Jennifer was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. She was a gymnast and cheerleader before heading to the University of Pittsburgh. The winters of the North slowly grew old so she ventured down South to Daytona Beach, FL where she met her husband and moved to Jacksonville, Fl. She and her husband own Bicycles Etc., locally owned bicycle stores in town. Health and Fitness has always been a top priority in Jennifer’s life. After having 4 children within 5 years, instead of heading into hard core training to recover, she chose Pilates, Yoga and Barre because of the therapeutic and gentle qualities of these kinds of workouts and they became her obsession. In 2012, she became certified in Mat 1 & 2 Pilates, Reformer 1 & 2 through Balanced Body. Barre has always been one of her favorites, so a friend who has taken the Barre Training at Everbalance and loved it referred her to the studio. After completing her Barre Certification at Everbalance she became a part of the Team and now Everbalance is a big part of her life. Jennifer loves her clients and they absolutely adore her. “Pilates is for everyone. If every person, would just add 2-3 classes a week to their regular workout schedule, they’d feel the amazing benefits within a minimal amount of time in their bodies, the amount of injuries, joint pain and replacements, as well as back pain would be greatly diminished. In my classes I like to focus on strengthening the core. Building a strong core is the foundation to being stronger and healthier as we age.” Reformer Pilates has always held a special place in Jen’s heart, she absolutely loves teaching it. Her classes are ALWAYS fun, as her bubbly personality shines making everyone feel welcome and comfortable.
