Growing up I always enjoyed the outdoors, traveling, and music. When I was young I felt great. I had a good energy and I always felt as though I was in pretty good shape. As we all know the older you get your body starts fighting you back! After having kids and life getting a little overwhelming I became passionate about working out. I enjoyed CrossFit, Weight training, boxing, hiking, everything but yoga! As I worked my body harder I started getting more frequent injuries. Only after a bad rotator cuff injury was a forced to do yoga By my doctor and chiropractor. I was introduced Bikram yoga and fell in love, Not instantly, lol but eventually! It wasn’t easy, I felt uncomfortable but I knew the benefits and was determined to get well! And that’s exactly what happened. I came to the realization that no matter what you do or what kind of person you are our bodies are meant to do yoga. It’s the one activity no matter If you’re a golfer, swimmer, wrestler, basketball player, cheerleader, fighter, recovering from an injury, sitting in a chair all day, young, old, big, small, or sick,And everything in between , everyone needs the benefits of yoga! I am here to help you take your Physical goals to the next level one breath at a time! I look forward to working with you.

Anjum Virostko
Anjum Virostko’s journey is one of transformation and passion. After a successful career in the corporate world, she made the decision to step away and focus on raising her family as a stay-at-home mom. During this time, she discovered The Inferno HYP and began attending Pilates classes. What started as a way to stay active quickly became a source of strength, both physically and mentally. She fell in love not only with the power and energy of the workouts but also with the supportive and inspiring community that the studio fostered.
Now an Inferno Hot Pilates instructor with over 300 hours of teaching experience, Anjum brings dedication, warmth, and authenticity to every class. She also serves as the studio manager, where her sharp organizational skills and leadership experience from her “boss lady” corporate career seamlessly translate into running a smooth, empowering, and community-focused space. Her passion for movement is matched by her love for life—whether she’s reading a good book, spending time outdoors, enjoying the company of friends and family, or exploring new corners of the world. Anjum’s classes reflect her belief in the power of connection, resilience, and living with intention.
