PILATES
Pilates with Kelsey is grounded in the original work and principles of Joseph Pilates, but takes a modern twist with a focus on functional movement and building efficient strength and mobility. It is ever evolving and can be tailored to each body that is in the studio on any given day. It truly is for every body. Kelsey teaches through an evidence-based movement practice which focuses on developing core strength, fine motor skills and body awareness. She encourages self-efficacy and promotes empowerment. Her instruction is meant to create a lasting connection between mental and physical wellbeing.
FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a form of bodywork that is a dynamic and effective way to care for your body. It targets fascia, the most prevalent connective tissue in the body, and supports every aspect of movement — muscles, tendons, organs, ligaments, and nerves. It can increase flexibility, reduce aches and pains, and improve range of motion. Kelsey is a level 3 Fascial Stretch Therapist and has worked with countless high-profile professional athletes and teams throughout the years.
BARRE
Kelsey’s approach to teaching barre focuses on combining both full range-of-motion and isometric movements that target the entire body. Her barre classes increase strength, stability and heart rate. Movement sequences are frequently set to the beat of music where she incorporates her prolific playlists into each class.
