MOVE AS YOU WERE MEANT TO MOVE.
Each session at the private studio focuses on moving from the core of the body, of the mind, and of the heart. This means that you will be guided through each movement develop coordination of breath, core, and range on the reformer, and specific alignment and strengthening for your individual body on the mat. By combining these targeted tools and techniques with continuous mindfulness, practitioners gain the physical benefits that positively effect their entire body-mind system.
Injured? Postpartum? Anxious? This unique approach to mindful movement and building strength of awareness brings the entire system into alignment. Courtney's method - based in the traditions of alignment-based yoga, Insight meditation and the Classical Pilates repertoire - uniformly works each body part to create balanced, efficient, safe patterns of functional movement which lead to a strong core, supportive posture, and optimal health. The goal is not to make each exercise harder, but to make each movement more effective. You can expect to feel stronger, taller, and more centered after each session. Through this holistic and sustainable approach, over time, you will see improvement in your balance, stability, adaptability, strength, and range of motion as you integrate body and mind.

COMMON QUESTIONS
How often should I book?
This depends on your schedule, but it's generally most effective to aim for twice a week. You will feel results, retain the information more easily and feel confident to practice on your own, if you so choose, more quickly. Please also use the videos and guided meditations on this site to supplement our individual work!
​
​
Do you offer discounts?
Yes! If this is something you would love to do but is cost prohibitive, I am happy to figure out a way to work within your budget. I ask that you try the new client 3 pack, and if you want to continue, let's start talking about how this can work for both me and you.
​
​
can we just focus on stretching and stress relief?
Absolutely. I offer a wide range of tools and techniques, like Restorative yoga, guided meditation, breath work, and self myofascial release to help you reconnect wherever you are. My ultimate goal is to teach you the information and strategies relevant to you so that you are able to access your own inner resources whenever you need them.
