Nicole Macotsis

Hi! I'm Nicole Macotsis - a mom of two kids and a dog, living and working in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY on the unceded land of the Lenape.
Movement is what gets me through all the days- including stressful days when I'm worn out from parenting or the state of the world.
I want to offer you the joy and resilience of movement! I love coming home to my body through exercise or dance, and feeling stronger and more present.

Since becoming a mom, my go-tos of pilates and dance alone weren't resolving issues that two pregnancies had emphasized. I had a diastsis recti (ab separation) and felt disconnected from my core and pelvic floor. After trying several programs, I found Restore Your Core (RYC)®. It was life-changing for my movement and body awareness. RYC® also gave me a great foundation and confidence for strength training!
I became an RYC ® teacher in 2021 to share this knowledge with others, and combine it with my teaching of Egyptian Dance. In 2024 I was certified in Mat Pilates - to incorporate a practice I've done for decades into my teaching. I can't wait for you to join me in your journey in building strength, awareness and core health. hope to see you in my Bay Ridge studio or online.
