  • Pilates is a movement-based fitness system designed to enhance strength, flexibility, and body awareness through controlled exercises. Developed by Joseph Pilates, it was originally created as a rehabilitation technique for injured soldiers and dancers. Known for its focus on core strength, posture, alignment, and breathing, Pilates can be tailored to suit all fitness levels, from beginners to athletes. It is commonly used to improve posture, prevent injuries, aid in rehabilitation, and boost athletic performance. As a low-impact exercise, Pilates is especially beneficial for those with joint concerns or those seeking a gentler form of fitness.

    Polestar Pilates, a modern evolution of the Pilates method, combines the traditional principles of Pilates with a contemporary, evidence-based approach to movement science. Founded by Rachel and Brent Anderson, the Polestar method emphasizes a personalized, therapeutic approach, blending classical Pilates exercises with the latest research in anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation to create more individualized and functional movement practices. Kate teaches in the Polestar Pilates tradition.

  • The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a movement system developed by Juliu Horvath that blends elements from yoga, dance, swimming, gymnastics, and tai chi to create a fluid and dynamic exercise experience. It emphasizes circular and spiraling movements to enhance strength, flexibility, and mobility. The method targets functional movement, balance, coordination, and body awareness, with a particular focus on joint health and spinal mobility. The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® includes both the GYROKINESIS® Method and the GYROTONIC® Method.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

  • Kinesiology sessions utilize muscle testing to develop a supplement program to support overall health and wellbeing. It addresses any imbalances in the body using nutrition or supplement changes.
