The method of Joseph Pilates is a full-body conditioning system with emphasis on muscular strengthening + rebalancing (specifically muscles of the abdominals and back), joint mobility and breath work. Joseph Pilates left Germany for NYC around 1923 and set up the original Pilates studio on 8th avenue in Manhattan. Both classical and contemporary versions of his exercise system exist today.

In his own words: “The attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure”

Reiki translates to “Universal Life Force Energy”. Reiki is most often associated with Dr. Mikao Usui who rediscovered and developed it in the early 1920s in Japan. It’s also believed that Reiki has been around for much longer, possibly practiced in ancient Egypt and even before.

Reiki is a natural healing modality with it’s own intelligence and is channeled by an attuned practitioner by the laying of hands on our around the recipient. Reiki can also transcend time and space providing healing from a distance through the use of sacred symbols and meditative intention.

Receiving Reiki accelerates the body’s natural healing response and a Reiki healing session is often described as calming, grounding, relaxing, comforting, insightful and restorative.

Sound Healing has ancient origins and has been used in various cultures all over the world. Vibrations and frequencies create physiological responses that activate the body’s innate healing ability. Information is carried through sound and these vibrational signatures are restorative energy medicine.
