Private sessions are one-on-one instruction focused on injury recovery, alignment and correct movement patterns. Personalized sessions teach participants how to move from the core, release and stretch tight muscles and lengthen and strengthen. Participants will learn correct posture, breathwork, and different methods for relaxing the body. All sessions include recommendations for a personalized home program.

Our personalized small group classes are unlike other group classes. We limit our class size so we can focus on the unique needs of each individual. Participants receive special attention on alignment, form, strengthening, range of motion, stretching, and breath work. We teach basic anatomy and get people back in touch with their bodies. Small classes promote a community of wellness and support. We also suggest home program ideas and review health information in class. Beginner Group Pilates Reformer Classes require that you have attended at least 1 Private Sessions at Joyful Movement or the equivalent.

AMR (Advanced Muscle Reconditioning) is a type of bodywork that employs short, refined strokes in a single direction. Strokes are usually cross-grain to the muscle and are repeated in the same area in order to "iron out" knots or spasms in muscle and soft tissue. AMR is an innovative technique that allows practitioners to locate and treat both chronic and acute pain in the body. AMR is used to treat back and hip pain, head and neck pain, and different sports injuries. This work requires continued communication between client and practitioner to maximize effectives for each session.
