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 strength, mobility, and improve balance 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!

Nancy Allen Burns RES-CPT

I founded Body Wisdom Studio in 2007 with a clear mission: to change the way we think about aging. Too often, aging is framed as an inevitable decline. I believe—and have seen firsthand—that it can instead be a time of growing strength, vitality, and confidence. It has been an extraordinary journey and a true privilege to witness so many individuals rediscover what their bodies are capable of at every stage of life.

There is no single movement method that works for every body. The real art of teaching movement lies in seeing the person in front of you—understanding their history, structure, and goals—and skillfully drawing from the right approaches to meet their unique needs with precision and care.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to study with master teachers across a wide range of movement disciplines. My certifications include Restorative Exercise Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer through Nutritious Movement, MovNat Level 1 Certified Instructor, and Strength Training for Older Adults with Robert Linkul.

My earlier certifications include Strength and Conditioning, Massage Therapy, and TRE® (Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises). Most recently, I completed the requirements to obtain a license to deliver the ONERO program.

Each of these approaches has deepened my understanding of the human body as resilient, adaptable, and remarkably capable—at any age. This philosophy guides everything we do at Body Wisdom Studio: thoughtful, intentional movement that supports strength, confidence, and lifelong independence.
