Nina Markowitz: Pilates & Portraits at Casa Corazón
Pilates Class & Portraits at Casa Corazón for Careyes’ Summer Program
by Diana Navas
Photographing Nina Markowitz at Casa Corazón felt like sunshine in motion. She arrived with that effortless California energy—laid-back, glowing, and full of laughs. Watching her teach was a thrill—so much intensity and movement, but always with a playful, joyful flow. She moved like a little ballerina—strong yet delicate, and just radiant. Her Alo Yoga outfits in soft tones made her look almost ethereal against the light-filled backdrop of Careyes. It was such a joy to capture her, especially right after Alma Guerra’s peaceful yoga session. Two totally different vibes, both so beautiful to witness. Grateful for these moments.

Diana, originally from Colombia, brings over 16 years of photography experience, renowned for her vibrant and luminous style. She adores capturing the essence of life, with a particular obsession for harnessing the magic of natural light. Currently, she calls the lush jungles of Costalegre, Mexico, home sweet home, alongside her partner Daniel, two dogs, and three cats, living amidst the wild wonders. Diana is also working primarily in Careyes, where she continues to create stunning images that reflect the beauty and energy of the region.
