nastasia discovered her passion for pole dancing in 2021 and has since immersed herself in its artistry and challenges. She moved to the Bay Area in 2014, spending a few years in tech before finding her true calling in movement and connecting with others. Before 2020, she was a certified barre instructor in Sunnyvale, where she grew to love creative, accessible fitness and community-building.
Now living in the Santa Cruz Mountains with her boyfriend, their assertive Belgian Malinois, and his young adult children part-time, Anastasia finds inspiration in the vibrant, nature-filled setting—where stunning sunrises balance occasional extreme weather.
At Magnetic Pole Fit, she makes pole dancing approachable for all, blending fun, exploration, technique, and precision. She encourages students to find their unique movement early on to build confidence and make discoveries, rather than trying to perfectly emulate other dancers. Her personal practice focuses on mastering movement quality, waves, and leg work, combining sensual flow with technical skill. A lifelong learner, she loves exploring the science and art of movement and is excited to get more certifications, currently pursuing Liquid Motion. She believes deeply in the mind’s power to shape our experiences and integrates this philosophy into her teaching.
Anastasia is passionate about growing alongside her students and sharing her evolving expertise within the vibrant pole community at Magnetic Pole Fit.
Outside of pole fitness and dance, Peacha aspires to work in the medical field as a physician’s assistant. She has a BS in Chemistry and graduated in May 2023 with her MS in Applied Life Sciences and is now working to obtain clinical hours for PA school. She also loves crocheting and filming silly pole-themed Tik-Toks in her spare time, so feel free to come to her for social media content ideas!
Outside of the studio, she works in the built environment and enjoys fitness, attending to her plants, and relaxing with her cats.
