Everyone learns differently. If one approach isn’t working, we can try another. Having a big bag of tricks and lot’s of experience comes in handy for building programs. By working collaboratively, we analyze which approaches are working, solve problems, address concerns & reach your goals together.

PRIVATE SESSIONS
Private Sessions are one-on one to give the participant full attention from the instructor.
Gyrotonic or Pilates equipment is used to give support & feedback, as well aspropel your learning curve forward.
This is great for those who need a quiet calm space without distractions.

Semi-privates are dependent on selecting a group of friends that will be consistent about their attendance, and have the ability to be partly independent.

Classes are available by request. Feel free to contact me if you would like to put together a Group training that is currently not being offered.

“To be an artist you don’t have to compose music or paint, or be in the movies or write books.
It’s just a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see
and answering back, participating in life. “
