I fly with Jaybird Because:
... because it harmoniously blends meditation, movement and strength into one experience. For 45 minutes (or 55) I am simply here-- present in my body, my breath and the moment.
My journey to jaybird:
Movement has always been a way for me to come back to myself. My journey into Pilates began with curiosity about the body; how it moves, how it heals and how deeply connected our physical and mental worlds are. Eventually that curiosity developed into a career where I've been able to complete my comprehensive Pilates certification and deepen my understanding of biomechanics and intentional movement. My path to Jaybird felt like a natural evolution. I was drawn to this space where movement could be challenging without losing its connection to mindfulness.
What MiNdfulness Means to Me:
It's about creating balance; building a strong body, cultivating an open heart and finding a deeper sense of tranquility in the mind.
