DEEPEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BODY

There are plenty of great movement studios that “work you out”, but I wasn’t finding a place where people could develop a deeper relationship with their body through self-discovery and a better understanding of how a body moves and thrives in general. So I opened The Aware Lab for Movement and Creativity, the bridge between rehab and fitness.

The MELT Method

MELT is a simple self-treatment designed to help you stay healthy, youthful and active for a lifetime. MELT is like manual therapy that you do in a group setting or at home using a soft body roller and specialized small balls for the hands and feet. Just 10 minutes of MELT, 3 times per week is all you need to reduce the effects of life’s everyday stresses and strains.

MELT is for anyone who wants to live pain-free…

MELT is for the men and women of all ages who want to remain active, strong and free from injury while optimizing every workout.

MELT is the best starting point for any exercise or wellness program, no matter your athletic level or state of wellness.

MELT is easy to learn and offers results the first time you try it. MELT can help you fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly, have more energy during the day, improve your posture, reduce stress and tension, shed excess body fat, and even reduce the appearance of cellulite. Best of all, your body will feel great long after you MELT!

Pilates

I love teaching and practicing pilates…it takes us to abilities we didn’t know we had (I am proud of myself after a good pilates workout and you will be too!)

I like to think of pilates as trying to stay stable in the shoulders, ribs, core and pelvis while the arms and legs are moving or the spine is flexing, extending, rotating or side-bending. It’s harder than it looks and it beautifully prepares you for an active life out in the world.

At The Aware Lab, every private lesson will involve some combination of pilates on the V2Max Rehab Reformer, The Cadillac (also called a Trapeze Table), The Stability Chair, The Fuse Ladder and the mat. The equipment is designed to support you in exercises so that you can move without compensation. The mat work is a little harder…on the mat, it is all you! But don’t worry, every move can be modified to match your unique level of mobility. (Did I say that every move can be modified based on your unique mobility? Everyone, no matter  your age, disability, illness or athletic ability, can benefit from a regular pilates practice.)

Pilates…

  • Helps with alignment (if you want to effortlessly stand taller, do pilates!)
  • Improves your balance and coordination.
  • Protects you from future injuries.
  • Gives you core strength and stability.
  • Builds longer, leaner muscles.
