Private training with Danielle addresses your physical history, posture, core strength and flexibility, towards helping you improve your ability to move well, without pain. With years of experience assisting clients to heal and improve their fitness and body wisdom, Danielle guides you through Second Wind’s Pilates-based repertoire, adapted therapeutically to support physical ability, limitations and goals.
Efficient whole-body movement is a learnable art and technical skill, but the information has to be made available to you. With The Second Wind® Method, you won’t have to look any further.
Skillfully combining The Pilates Method with Integrated Movement Therapies (IMT)®, the Second Wind Method teaches you how to perform any movement you undertake with understanding, improved ability, and confidence and results, rather than by rote or guess work.
Integrated Movement Therapies (IMT)
Integrated Movement Therapies (IMT)® is the brainchild of Danielle Belec. As the framework for the study of conscious and functional movement, it has its roots in age-old traditions. IMT is strongly influenced by the work of Rudolf Laban (Laban Movement Analysis) and Irmgard Bartenieff (Bartenieff Fundamentals), as well as by her training as a contemporary dancer and related studies in tai chi, yoga, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy certification, myofascial bodywork, the Mitzvah Technique, and her on-going research into biomechanics, and functional movement.
As the basis for movement mastery and intentional living, the Second Wind® Method’s combination of Integrated Movement Therapies (IMT)® with The Pilates Method is unique in the field of Pilates. Danielle’s teaching transforms how your body moves, thinks, feels and communicates, propelling individual movement potential to new levels of possibility.
What you will learn:
- How to move according to the natural design of your body
- How to achieve proper alignment for your body
- How to activate core support when you need it
- How to optimize correct breathing patterns for each movement
- How to engage right muscles and joint actions for optimal results
- How to replace false ideas about fitness and exercise with a real understanding of how to move!
With focus on quality over quantity, students learn a simple movement protocol based on principles of alignment, core support, and the crucial integration of breath-and-movement. False ideas about strength are replaced with correct alignment and movement control, profoundly changing your posture and core connection for life. You can do none other than succeed no matter a beginner or advanced mover.
Danielle has always believed in our ability to learn and excel at anything we put our minds and hearts to. Regular movement practice allows us to care for the natural design and intelligence of our own bodies as we age, so we can live with more physical ease, and less emotional and mental stress that often keeps our mind stuck and bodies sore and disconnected. Each time we practice organized, functional movement that supports posture, vitality, and productivity, we fine-tune our ability to self-nurture and self-heal – living our lives well.
Through teaching you to work from within, instead of ‘working out’, not only will you finally overcome the conundrum of getting fit, but you will experience the extraordinary intelligence of your own body as one of your greatest teachers!
The Second Wind® Method is here to help you live a healthy and meaningful life.
This 12-week 1:1 package is designed for people who want to achieve their optimal movement ability. Note that this so called ‘optimal’ is a subjective and personal understanding of what it is you want physically and energetically for yourself at this point in your life, with ease and grace.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you need to become the generic weekend warrior, but that works too.
The SWM Movement Foundations is a 3-week 1:1 package that meets twice weekly designed to be quick and to the point.
