About Yassmine
I'm a kinesiotherapist and Pilates coach, which means I spend my days on the parts of fitness most people ignore until something hurts. Posture. A cranky lower back. Tight shoulders from sitting all day. The recovery that decides whether you actually keep training or keep getting injured.
My philosophy is simple, and I say it to everyone I work with: your body is your only investment. So my methods are built to fit a normal life and a normal living room. Most of what I teach needs no equipment at all, just your own bodyweight and a bit of floor space.
People are sometimes surprised that a Pilates coach writes about building muscle, but strength and good movement are the same conversation. A body that moves well can train harder and recover faster. At MyMacroFit I write about moving without pain, fixing posture, building core strength, and getting genuinely strong at home, plus the rest days and gentler cardio that hold it all together.
I work with people who sit too much, ache too often, or want to get fit without wrecking themselves in the process. You can find my movement and posture work on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and at yassmove.com.
