This issue we get candid with the beautiful and multi-talented Russian-born fitness model Katrina Huroni who shares her fitness journey with us. Katrina is currently a certified yoga instructor, health coach and fitness addict who loves spending her time training, swimming, playing tennis and dancing. She believes that true happiness and balance comes from both a strong body and a strong mind. Here, Katrina shares her story on how she got started on her spiritual mission, what motivates her to achieve her goals and how she'll continue building herself and her fitness career well into the future!
It's a pleasure to have you Katrina. Could you tell us what inspired you to start your journey into fitness and what are some of your most memorable moments?
My fitness life started when I was working for the government 10 years ago. I decided that while working I'd pursue my modelling dreams to get on to Miss Russia. At that time I weighed an extra 24kg so I started weights, cardio and swimming and lost it in 7 months and made my body perfect. It was my first fitness achievement. To speak in general my fitness journey after that was about maintaining my weight before and after a vacay or special event.
Three years ago, already being hatha yoga teacher, I decided to bring fitness into my lifestyle. I turned to a strict vegan and stopped drinking alcohol without exception on any occasion, and my new life journey began. I trained in gym 6 times a week and I became super skinny with some muscles but no proper shape or developed glutes (girls will understand)).
