Classes & Series for Musicians & Creatives
Movement Classes
Stuck in a creative funk?
Looking to stoke the fires of creativity or just move through sticky joints?
Let’s MOVE.
Whether you’re a musician, an artist, or just harbor a love for crafting, movement can support not only self-care strength, mobility and movement but CREATIVITY.
Movement classes are a cohesive mix of multiple modalities curated to support creative professionals. Participants can expect to move through Pilates, Franklin Method and Roll Model Method techniques with a sprinkle of joviality.
Movement classes are a unique blend of fun, creativity and personal insight drawing from my experience as a musician (for too many years to count!)
My approach is centered around YOU, my students.
We focus on how you move, what sensations are calling to you on a given day and how to untap stagnated areas in the body.

This summer at Chautauqua Institution, intentionally cultivate a stronger, more mobile, and happier self in our "Let's Move" class. We go beyond routine workouts, offering a deliberately designed blend of movements that prioritize the joy of physical expression as a pathway to enhanced well-being.
Registration is coming soon!
What are movement classes like?!
While classes might have a theme students should expect a potpourri of modalities customized to support the unique physical challenges students bring to class.
We’ll move through a mix of techniques that draw from Franklin Method, Roll Model Method and mat Pilates for a customized class each time we meet.
Why these modalities you ask?
Great question!
Franklin Method
The Franklin Method is a holistic approach that combines principles of movement science, anatomy, and mental imagery. It emphasizes the use of visualizations and experiential learning to enhance body awareness and movement efficiency. By focusing on how we think about and visualize our bodies in motion, practitioners can improve their physical performance and overall well-being.
Roll Model Method
Roll Model Method is a self-care technique that focuses on releasing tension and improving mobility through targeted massage of the body’s fascia. Using specially designed rubber balls (or even tennis balls in a pinch), practitioners can effectively access and release tight areas in the body, promoting overall comfort and function.
Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates focuses on core strength, which is essential for musicians. A strong core supports proper posture and alignment, allowing musicians to play their instruments more effectively and with greater ease. Pilates emphasizes controlled movements that enhance balance and stability. This is crucial for musicians who often need to maintain specific positions for extended periods, helping to prevent fatigue and strain.
