Welcome To The Tao Of Movement!

The Tao (pronounced Dow) of Movement is based on the Mitchell Method of Pilates. It is an actual technique to grow your spirit and create physical well-being and healing. This method, inspired by the teachings of J. H. Pilates, also includes tenets of yoga, ballet, T'ia-chi and the gentle art of energy cultivation. The Tao is an eastern or Chinese philosophy that translates to mean, The Way. The Tao of Movement is the way of movement. It is the truth that supports all methods of movement. It can be used to improve any person’s understanding and use of their body. This ranges the gamut from professional athletes to people with special needs.

The Tao of Movement integrates the use of proper breath technique, spinal awareness and the balance and cultivation of energy. Susan Mitchell is committed to the belief that humans are energy beings. To truly understand movement, the mind, the body and the spirit must integrate. All three entities move as one. This is called alignment. Alignment creates nurtures and sustains our wholeness. Without the alignment of the mind, body and the spirit the foundation of good health is compromised. The Tao of Movement combines the use of time-tested exercises with a proper understanding of the bio-mechanics of the energy body. The results are a focused mind, a balanced body and an improved state of being. Professional athletes have termed this state as, "The Zone" or "Playing Real Time". Susan calls this level of understanding and performance, The Tao of Movement. You will be amazed to learn the ease with which you can achieve this state of being. You will also be astounded by the results that you see and feel. Your body and your life will change in exciting and new ways!
