Tracy Powers - Owner/Pilates and Gyrotonic teacher

 

Originally from Las Vegas, NV - Tracy was interested in movement at a very young age.  Her desire to move attracted her to dance.  She received her B.A. in dance from the University of Colorado, Boulder where she also studied English Literature.  Upon completion she moved to Boston where she danced with several local modern companies and choreographers, performing throughout New England and New York.  She also formed her own company and created dances performed in venues throughout the area. 

Tracy is certified in Pilates through Power Pilates.  Tracy is certified to teach Gyrotonic level 1 and has taken Paul Horvath's course on Therapeutic Applications of Gyrotonic: the pelvic girdle.  She was very lucky to study and work with Pilates and Gyrotonic master trainer Kathy Van Patten at Boston Bodyworks Studios.  She has also studied with Pilates master trainers Nora Gomez-Dears, Bob Liekens, Susan Moran and Dana Einstein and Gyrotonic master trainers Paul Horvath, Juergen Bamberger, Leda Franklin, Elizabeth Holland and Leslie Schickel.  She continues her education through classes and workshops and keeps up her own practice regularly.

Tracy has been inspired by her clients and their ability to heal and transform through movement.  Their progress is quite an accomplishment!  She has worked with a range of clients including those recovering from injury and women who are pregnant and post-partum.

Tracy is happy to be back out west with her husband Nathan, a very talented chef.  Aside from dance, pilates, gyrotonic and gyrokinesis, Tracy enjoys reading, yoga, cycling, skiing and of course fine dining!

Laura Blakely moved from the east coast to Salt Lake City to pursue her MFA in Modern Dance from the University of Utah.  She has danced in Boston, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, San Francisco, Toronto, Canada and Bordeaux, France.   Her graduate studies led her to Pilates, which she found both recuperative and challenging.  Certified in Polestar Pilates since 2006, Laura's approach to movement combines her background in modern dance and somatics.  She uses imagery and gentle breathing and cueing techniques in her teaching.  As an active dancer and outdoor enthusiast, Laura believes in the continual process of embodiment and enjoys seeing clients of all backgrounds come more fully into themselves through movement.  She has completed continuing education courses in Rehabilitation for Pilates with Lizz Roman, Advanced Spine and Body-Mind Centering.  Laura enjoys learning about and incorporating different modalities into her practice.  She seeks any opportunity to learn and grow more and finds that using her body and studying the body provide endless opportunities.
