  Several years back I tore my meniscus and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me because, following knee surgery and on my doctor's recommendation that I try Pilates for rehab, I found Cassidy. I had never heard of Pilates, I didn't know what it was supposed to "do", I didn't even know how to spell it. I think at the time I was expecting some kind of physical therapy or exercise routine. What I received from Cassidy was so much greater and so lasting - personalized one on one attention and a way to heal, strengthen and balance my entire body! My knee has long since recovered (better than ever) and I continue to work with Cassidy because she always brings out the best in me. I feel great -and it's fun! I highly recommend Cassidy and The Body Gallery!

  I started seeing Cassidy a couple of years ago because I was having arm, neck and shoulder pain due to years of working at a computer. I had previously tried acupuncture and chiropractors to treat this and only found temporary relief at best. But within a few sessions with Cassidy my symptoms diminished dramatically. Not only that, her approach can prevent this from happening again in the future because essentially I've been taught new skills: I have new sensory awareness of how I'm holding my body and a repertoire of targeted exercises and stretches that I can do. I continue to see Cassidy but the focus has gradually shifted to general fitness and that's been great too.

  Having done yoga for years, I was slow to check out Pilates but my chiropractor suggested I give it a try. After my first one-on-one session, I'm hooked! Cassidy did a full assessment of my body, spine and alignment and then got to work with me. Within that hour's time my abs felt stronger, my hams loosened and I walked out feeling ready for more. I can't wait for my next session!

  I recently completed The Vital 7 program at The Body Gallery and was blown away by the results I saw. I recently moved to the Bay Area and signed up for The Vital 7 hoping it would help me meet people and find a routine for self-care in this new city. Life goes into upheaval during a move and I have to admit my highest hopes were simply to get through the class, but I ended up getting SO much more. I found each class to be the perfect amount of challenging. Each week I was gaining more body awareness, more strength, and access to muscle groups that I had kind of given up on. I really appreciated the assessment model of the class because it gave me a lot of perspective on how I had improved and what I could continue to work on going forward. It was a check-in for me and my body. During the first assessment, when the teacher asked me to lift my body like a plank from flat on the ground to the top of push-up position - I laughed and thought to myself, 'yeah right!' Before the last assessment at the end of the class I was mentally preparing myself to be disappointed and to not see much improvement, but this stuff WORKS! I still have a ways to go before I can match the skill of the instructors, but the improvement I saw was phenomenal. AND I feel more motivated than I ever have before to keep up with the exercises even after the program has ended. I am truly grateful to Cassidy and her team at the Body Gallery for helping me see my own strength, especially in the middle of so much life transition. I would highly recommend checking them out!

  2016 = the year of alignment for me. Working with the Body Gallery is educational and made easy. My experience in signing up for The Vital 7 mat class started with an assessment of my range of motion. This assessment helped The Body Gallery placed me in the proper class for my body needs. My body has needs and The Vital 7 is fulfilling them. Even though The Vital 7 is group class, the attention to detail and care my instructor has given me has been excellent and feels like a private 1 on 1 class. If I'm not performing the exercise correctly the instructor helps to correct my movement while encouraging me to reach my full potential. I really like this type of communication. The Body Gallery is helping me to prevent injury in my right rotator cuff, hips and neck though education in movement. My day to day life has improved and I feel better about the range of motion I am achieving though a customized class to suit my needs. Thank you Body Gallery for getting me back on track, to healthy movement. If you have lost range of movement/motion, or recovering from an injury CALL TODAY for an assessment, your body will thank you!
