Nicole Macotsis

Hi! I'm Nicole Macotsis - 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- from unpredictable and stressful - to days when I'm worn out from parenting or the state of the world. I want to offer the joy and resilience of movement to you! 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)^®. I finally began to feel at home in my body, become aware of unhelpful patterns and begin to resolve them. 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 by the Kane School- 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 connection in your body.
