About the Studio
We are centrally located in Southern New Jersey. Convenient for Camden County, Burlington County and both bridges from Philadelphia.
Our studio offers Private sessions and small group classes in a restorative, noncompetitive environment.
Our instructors uphold the highest standards. We do not just teach a standard routine, we create a special program that caters to your individual needs and evolves with you. No two bodies are alike so why teach one way, one sequence, or the same program to everyone – all the time. You will feel better and look better.
We are a fully equipped studio with Cadillac, Reformers, Ladder Barrel, Split Pedal Chair, Avalon System, and Spine Correcter. No group class is over four members, and mat classes are limited to six so you receive the best quality instruction.
We understand busy, stressful lives and aim to help you escape from life’s pressures and spend some quality time focusing on your most important asset – your health.
