Fashion Fit: Katrina Huroni

Fitness is my passion which recently turned into a profession as fitness model, so it’s very important for me how I look and what I wear while I am exercising.

 

When and how did you decide to get into fitness?

I brought fitness into my life when I was working for government as customs officer in Russia 10 years ago. I wanted to be model parallel to my main job and my aim was to participate in Miss Russia. That time I was extra 24 kg, so I did a lot of workouts and diet and lost that extra weight in 7 months. It was my first fitness achievement.

Almost four year ago, I decided to bring fitness as my lifestyle with no breaks on vacations or any other excuse for being active. I just fell in love with it, that’s the best mind change I made in my life!

It took me almost 2 years to really understand how my body works and how adjust it to feel comfortable. My body now is lean and muscular but still feminine.

I really love training, I train almost every day and I love to stay active all the time. So I am always fit and feeling great. My mirror reflection and good health conditions keep me motivated.

 

How do you combine Fashion with Fitness?

Fitness is my passion which recently turned into a profession as fitness model, so it’s very important for me how I look and what I wear while I am exercising.

I am real gym fashionista, I have 76 total look gym outfits! That’s crazy I know. But I believe it’s very important to look beautiful and stylish in gym, it motivates you and keeps one interested in doing it. I always scan people in gym and really can see who is really in love with sport and who is doing it as an obligation.

I love to evolve myself, to grow, to transform, to better a version of myself. I’ve been doing it for the last 6 years. It’s so amazing to go through this journey and process while noticing the changes.

 

You have been in the UAE for more than 8 years. How has the UAE shaped your career?

Living in Russia I used to love my job but to have daily routine in office was not what I wanted my life to be. I always dreamt of living abroad since I was a teenager.

Moving to Dubai gave me an opportunity to do something what I desired and what can make people’s life better through me. My choice came to yoga. I finished Yoga TTC in 2014 and then started my group and private hatha yoga classes. Also I graduated as health coach from Institute of Integrative Nutrition of New York, then I have done many other studies and course related to health, nutrition, self-evolve, psychology etc.

Last year I decided to go deeper with Kundalini yoga teacher training course. I feel lucky to be able to make a living by doing what I love.

 

Tell us about your experience at Miss Russia International?

I was modeling a lot and went to Miss Rostov and then I represented my country as Miss Russia in 7 international beauty contests in Las Vegas, China (3 times), Turkey, Dominican Republic, Italy. I was twice first runner up.

It was great experience and period in my life which I’m so grateful and proud of. It opened many doors for me in modeling and other spheres of my career. I became more confident on stage, I showed my talents, my beauty and my knowledge. I met so many professionals, socialized and became friends with many girls from all over the word learning their traditions, way of living, it was super interesting. This experience made me very strong and brought new characteristics to my personality.

 

What new projects are you working on?

I believe that it’s better not to share details of your plans before it comes up. You will see it on my Instagram page @huroni_fit. I can only share that I have a few and I would be sharing them very soon. So stay tuned.

Traveling is my passion, especially countries with awesome untouched nature, it’s very important for me to be connected to nature as much as I can so I fulfill and recharge myself.

 

Tell us more about your Kundalini classes.

April onwards I shall start group/private classes in Dubai, some online and live projects as well.

 

What do you like to do besides yoga and fitness?

I love to bring some spice in my life with surfing, wake surf, diving and bungee jumps, I do it in different beautiful parts of the world.

Traveling is my passion, especially countries with awesome untouched nature, it’s very important for me to be connected to nature as much as I can so I fulfill and recharge myself.

Also I love so much to evolve myself, to grow, to transform to better version of myself. I’m doing it for last 6 years. It’s so amazing to go through this journey and process while noticing the changes. I do it through different studies, books, courses, spiritual practices, healings, yoga, religion.

 

Why it’s important for you to evolve, grow and be spiritual?

You know, just beautiful “picture” is not enough for me. I believe that people should be beautiful from inside and outside.

We are living in a time where it’s very important to self-evolve in all spheres of your life as building the right relationships with people, finding purpose of life and a mission, learning the laws of Universe, to become aware and live a conscious life in happiness. I know it’s kind of trendy now, but even like this I am happy. I am am sure this trend will stay for life with me and others!

 

So I want to wish everyone to focus on yourself, to grow, to evolve and keep working towards your goals and wishes. Make tomorrow better than today!
