Body Wisdom Virtual Studio

Welcome

Transforming the way we do aging!

What if how old you feel in your body is more defined by how you move than by your age? What if you could feel younger, stronger and move better as you age just by learning to move better now?
Our classes are for students of any age who want to learn the exercises and lifestyle habits that maximize mobility and improve balance, strength and grace as you age.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower people with the knowledge, skills and motivation to regain pain-free natural movement and optimal body alignment through inspiring you to move in ways that improve health, increase strength and reduce muscle and join pain regardless of age.

About

Move More, Exercise Less

We master movement skills that improve body alignment. Our new skills become our new habits. Our new habits improve how we walk, stand, sit, bend, reach, squat, lift and twist all day. It is the quality of our daily movements that dictates the quality of our health, mobility, mental alertness, attitude and our quality of life as we age. Want to be healthy, strong and agile when you're age 90+?

Start where you are. Join us, move better!

Corrective Exercise virtual classes are taught by Restorative Exercise Specialists certified by Nutritious Movement, Katy Bowman M.S. We offer excellent live-streaming classes most weekdays and an extensive library of previously recorded classes matched to your particular topic of interest.
Strength Training - Below are three proven paths to restore and build your strength at any age:

1. SLOW WEIGHTS ONLINE classes use light weights and a slower pace to build endurance and strength. This live-stream online class is offered three days weekly and taught by a Restorative Exercise Specialist. It has been very popular for 15 years, so give it a try. Access is included in our unlimited monthly membership or by purchasing a class package or drop-in pass.

2. BE STRONGER ONLINE is our eight-week interactive program, offering classes four days a week. It is like having an excellent private strength-training session at home, coached by Nancy Burns. When you are serious about strength training, give this program a try. Details HERE. Included in our unlimited monthly membership.

3. AGE STRONG is an individualized, small-group strength and conditioning program that professionally and safely trains older adults to achieve great results. We know that you can build muscle mass, maintain or improve bone mineral density, regain more flexible joint movements, and feel more alive in your body as you age. This program is in person at Body Wisdom Studio and taught by Nancy Burns, Jean Gorecki, Cindy Snyder, Mary D'Elia, and assistant coaches. There is usually a wait list, so apply early.

Upcoming sessions: begins January 5, 2026

Nancy Allen Burns

I founded Body Wisdom Studio in 2007 with a mission to change the way we think about aging — to replace the old story of decline with a new paradigm of strength, vitality, and confidence at every stage of life. It has been an extraordinary journey and a privilege to witness so many individuals rediscover what’s possible for their bodies.

There is no single movement method that fits everyone. The real art of teaching movement lies in understanding the body in front of you — knowing which approaches to draw from, and how to apply them with precision and care to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.

Over the past 19 years, I’ve had the joy of studying with master teachers across a wide spectrum of disciplines. My certifications include:

Restorative Exercise Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer, Nutritious Movement
MovNat Level 1 Certified Instructor
Strength Training for Older Adults

Past certifications include Strength and Conditioning, Massage Therapy, Pilates Mat Exercise, and Aqua Exercise. I’ve also benefited from extensive training in the MELT Method, Yoga Tune Up, Original Strength, and TRE® – Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises.

Each of these methods has deepened my understanding of how resilient, adaptable, and capable the human body truly is — at every age.
