Balance Point Pilates

In 2016, after working at New Ballet Ensemble for 6 years, I opened my first small studio in the Victorian Village that I named Balance Point Pilates. I taught private lessons there for two years until the heartbreaking death of my father-in-law. Upon his passing we sold the building and I closed my little quiet studio. After 10 years of continued learning and growth, I am feeling compelled to pivot back to my original business name. It's actually very dear to my heart. As a beloved Pilates mat exercise, Balance Point holds the essence of the principals of Pilates that I endeavor to teach/share in my classes and sessions. Namely, the concept of "Taking Root To Fly". This idea is borrowed from the great choreographer, Irene Dowd's book on functional anatomy. She writes poetically about dropping into gravity as the method through which we reach up out of it.

Learning to feel some bones rooted in gravity while others lift up out of it is the way that we all maintain this human posture. I hope to assist folks in developing a keen sense of when and how our core assists us in creating that oppositional force to decompress our joints, even as gravity compresses them. That control of opposites is the secret key to fluidity and grace in movement. For me, Balance Point is the Pilates pose that most directly teaches this effort.
I think it's risky to change a business name but in this case, I am only returning to my authentic self! Please bare with me while I figure out how to manipulate this software to do so!

Other pieces of news:

1. I am looking into switching software programs. That might be bumpy. I'll keep you all posted!

2. I am very excited to be attending an Orthopedic massage training for knee bio-mechanics THIS MONTH! Feb 21-22. It's going to be fab for us ALL!

3. Soon, I will begin looking for an office space but likely not until after my June Thai massage training in Spain. Keep your feelers out and send word if you see anything suitable.

4. Come See Me! February has many openings. Hop on the schedule and book yourself a session. I am finding a lot of success with more gentle joint-mobilizing massage moves than with deep forceful(and sometimes painful) moves.
Although, often the pain has to be released as well.

5.Please let the ice melt away!
