Romina’s rooftop Pilates classes and cooking videos caught my attention on Instagram. She is clearly a woman with an eye for detail whether flawlessly moving through a Pilates routine or baking tasty treats for her family. 

Read her story and check out her Instagram page. I am sure you will feel the same way.

“Four years ago, my husband, two young children and I relocated from Buenos Aires to Dubai. I am an accountant but decided that raising my children in a new country and working full-time would be too stressful. Instead, I became a Pilates instructor so I could have a career doing something I love and a flexible schedule for my family.

Most importantly, I need time to take care of my health. I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis when I was 23 years old and now have 50% lung function. Pilates is incredibly helpful in keeping my body strong and in clearing my airways. The movement and calming nature of Pilates have been critical to my good health. 

I also enjoy cooking nutritious meals and desserts. I frequently post my creations on Instagram at @rominascazzuso so that others can see that simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference to one’s well-being. 

My holistic approach to managing bronchiectasis has been effective. I went from annual hospitalizations to only being hospitalized once in eight years. However, Dubai does present challenges. There is a lot of dust in the air and the temperatures are extreme. Knowing how important it is for me to walk, I started a walking club at a mall. We walk for 40 minutes and then go to a coffee shop to socialize. 

I am fortunate to have a supportive husband who steps in to encourage me whenever necessary. There is so much I want to do and see with my family while living in this exotic country and culture. Daily movement, stress reduction and healthy cooking are what allow me to enjoy life. I look forward to seeing what the future holds!”
