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!

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 weekly. It is like having an excellent private strength training session in your home, coached by Nancy Burns. When you are serious about strength training, give this program a try. Our once-yearly enrollment opportunity ends September 30. Details HERE. The next session begins September 9. 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 with assistant coaches. There is usually a wait list, so apply early.

Upcoming sessions: Sep. 9-Nov. 1. Nov. 11 - Dec.20.

Nancy Allen Burns

I founded Body Wisdom Studio in 2007 with the mission to change the paradigm of aging in this country to one of strength and vitality instead of slow decline. It has been an amazing journey and a privilege to touch so many lives.

There is no single movement discipline perfect for every body. The art of assessing and teaching movement is to know what methods to draw from and exactly how to apply those skills to optimally address your unique individual needs. I've been fortunate to learn from masters in many movement methods over the past 19 years. My certifications include Restorative Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer, Certified by 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 training with MELT Method, Yoga TuneUp, Original Strength, and TRE-Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercise.
