Shirlee’s clients often hear her say, "know thy self and the body is the map of your mind." If you concentrate on what your body is doing while you exercise, your workout will be more effective at achieving your workout goals.

Equipped with our own production company, we create DVD programs for schools and companies, used to promote harmony, balance and interaction awareness.

Optimal health is attainable for everyone! Through the artful selection of exercises, focusing on core points required most for strength, balance and flexibility, Shirlee teaches us the easiest way to get the most. Less can be more when you are properly focused.

Shirlee is a master at using props in combination with exercise. Clients often tell her "It works like magic; I can’t believe how good I feel." Props train the body proper alignment, centering and balance.
