MDs and PTs often recommend Pilates as a path for recovering from injury, no matter your age. It can also help prevent injury because of its focus on core stability, balance, flexibility and posture. Not to mention cultivating the mind body connection

Pilates can also benefit women who are pregnant or post partum by safely strengthening and conditioning the core and pelvic floor. Anyone with pelvic floor issues or dysfunction would benefit from Pilates.

Last week my 11 year old daughter and I had the pleasure of attending the return of NYC Ballet's summer residence in Saratoga Springs, New York in an all Balanchine program at Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

It was such a sweet day for us and included a girls lunch, the ballet, and of course gathering some of the famous medicinal sulfur water for perfect skin and gastrointestinal health.

I had the pleasure of participating in the Task Force on Dancer Health meeting in NYC in early January. it was such a pleasure to meet with dance medicine physicians and physical therapists from around the US and Canada. Such a wealth of knowledge in one small room!

I was so honored to present my research on diastasis recti at the most recent International Association of Dance Medicine and Science meeting in Montreal.

I was super excited to attend the first ever wellness expo at the annual SXSW festival here in Austin!
