classes & one-on-one sessions coming soon…
I have decades worth of movement/somatic practice and teaching experience. It is a true love of mine to guide and share space with other moving, breathing bodies. I have been an internationally certified pilates mat instructor since 2008 and integrate all my continual movement learning into this practice from anatomy to trauma-informed to creative ritual.
Breath, acceptance and working from inner to outer is the foundation of my teaching philosophy when building strength and agency in the body. I love to support folx in developing a loving relationship with their amazing, capable bodies as they commit to practices that help them live the life they want to. I aim to hold a caring and inspired space for connection and movement. One that is inclusive of and enriching to all bodies, identities, presentations and abilities. Your presence is a beautiful gift.
In addition to my anatomy and pilates training here are some investigative movement practices that have informed, and inspired me:
Laban Movement Anaysis/Bartinieff Fundamentals
Brain-Compatable Dance Education
Feldenkrias Method
Alexander Technique
Skinner Releasing Technique
