My Movement Journey
Welcome!
I'm so happy you're here!
I’m Heather Corey – a land-locked, ocean-loving Barre & Pilates instructor. When I’m not teaching, you can find me working with service dogs in training, sipping tea, and dreaming of the ocean – all while working on ways to share my passion for movement with the world!
​
I am a former dancer and "bendy body" and in 2021, after a lifetime of chronic pain and injuries, I was diagnosed with a rare connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I have since learned that enduring exercise that is painful for the sake of "no pain, no gain" isn't good for any body.
I believe movement should be uplifting, empowering and most of all - it should feel good - not just today but for years to come!
​
Teaching the methods of Pilates, Barre, Balletone, Dynamic Stretching and Recovery Movement, my goal is connecting with others while building a lifetime of movement and maintaining their physical and mental health no matter what obstacles came their way.
​
I began my fitness teaching career as a certified yoga instructor. I then became a Certified Level 4 Essentrics® Instructor after finding the method after a dance injury. I then went on to be an Essentrics® Master Trainer, the first in the United States, to help train other instructors.
I have since trained and certified in Barre, Mat Pilates, progressive Ballet Technique and Balletone.
As a former dancer, I grateful to have more than 20 years in movement and fitness. I have taught classes and workshops to dancers, athletes, fitness professionals and people who want to stay fit, move and have fun.

Designed for wide range of fitness levels, ages and bodies, complete with progressions so those new to fitness feel successful their first time and seasoned Barre enthusiasts will always feel challenged.

Fluid Barre - This low impact class helps improve posture, balance, range of motion and flexibility. This is a full-body workout using a dynamic combination of strengthening and stretching. The technique develops lean, strong and flexible muscles with immediate improvements to your posture. Perfect for all fitness levels, this program rebalances the body and unlocks tight joints. With a diverse music playlist accompanying each routine, this equipment-free workout leaves you feeling energized and healthy!
Pilates - Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength movements. The technique emphasizes proper postural alignment, core strength and muscular balance. I take a contemporary approach to Pilates, bringing more flow into the movements so that you experience the perfect mix of strength, balance, mobility and flexibility.
This class takes place on the mat. Props (such as a Pilates ball and light weights) are always be optional, not required.
These classes are designed for all levels and are designed to build strength, improve flexibility, reduce stress, relieve tension, and so much more.
Essentrics - Essentrics® - The name “Essentrics” is based on a technique known as eccentric movement that strengthens muscles and frees up movement. This is a unique, challenging program where the benefits extend out to other movement practices and sports and makes everyday living easier by improving range of motion and posture, increasing flexibility and rebalancing the muscles in the body.
