Move like a fluid athlete while also, over time, are rehabbing, healing, acute, chronic pain or normal soreness pain, and preventing injury.
FOR: 14 yrs – adults of ALL ages | Contact Mary for sitting chair barre as well.
WHAT: The difference between most Physical Therapy and Rehab sessions and my Heller Barre Method© is the use of my Kinesiology training, (the science of why and how muscles work), in my undergrad to teach you how to use correct alignment in any release, static stretch or strengthener you do.
The unique sequence of using somatic releasing, then static “check” stretching THEN strengthening in anything you love to do, (including everyday functional movement such as gardening to sports such as pickleball), then recovery into static and somatic stretching all WITH your knowledge of approaching all slower movement with correct alignment is what makes my floor barre unique as well.
My barre has worked for hundreds of bodies, and works for every kind of body, because it’s tailored to your specific needs such as normal sore pain, or severe acute and chronic pain.
This is for people who play sports including:
• pickleball,
• lift weights,
• box
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Football – (such as Walter Peyton who trained in alignment)
• Soccer
• running,
• rowing,
• biking,
or train in Yoga, Dance, Martial Arts.
or, if you desire to live freely in mobility doing functional movement to hike, or garden eventually without pain, risk of more carpel tunnel, (yes it can happen anywhere in the body), or injury.
Once you know:
• what specific somatic releases in alignment to do,
• in which sequence your body needs them in,
• know how and why to change those orders in your life,
• how you do the static stretches and strengthening excercises you already know, but now with alignment,
will be effective to release soreness, and/or heal acute, chronic pain, and prevent injury while taking breaks, but not stopping altogether that which you love to do.
I developed for and have taught Heller Barre Method© for 36 years nationally for pre-professional – professional all gender Dancers, U.S.A.G., competitive Level 4 – Elite/Olympic gymnastic athletes nationally.
In the last 14 years I have given over a hundred privates in the Prescott area for 14 – 96 years sAge.
This includes Olympian US Men’s Team ’24 Paul Ruda! He started his training until he went Michigan State University at the Buffalo Grove Dance & Gymnastics Center, IL, where I was hired to consult in the building of their dance studio, and was the original Director, then Co-Director and Full/Part-Time Instructor for 7.7 years 1993 – 2001, and went back every summer till it’s closing in 2020.
Paul’s coach and my colleague Leo had me teach part of my Heller Barre Method© to him where he started training at B.G.D.C. until he went to Michigan State University. These tools were part of his training to allow him to be selected onto the 2024’s Olympian Men’s Gymnastic Team, who won bronze on pommel horse this past summer.
I developed a Dance conditioning program that trained the level 5 – Elite Women’s & Men’s gymnasts weekly, as well as choreographed their floor routines every year, and have continued to do so yearly, nationally at several other gyms. Over 300 gymnasts have gone on to earn national, worlds titles, including Junior Olympic Women and Men’s gold medal overall titles.

ALIGNMENT IS KEY TO ALL GAIN, RELIEVING PAIN!
You CAN change your body’s structure. I HAD to change my skeletal alignment over 30 years ago, safely, and over time, to have the professional performing dance career I did.
Over time change your skeletal alignment through:
• muscle memory conditioning,
• aligned, deep, belly-of-the-muscles, active isolated stretching (AIS), WITH the use of gravity, and barres, foam roller, and pinky ball.
• integration OF KINESIOLOGY awareness into other movement practices, and/or everyday movement you do.
Floor, pinky ball, bands, barre, gravity, key alignment knowledge tailored to your body, focus, breath, knowledge, personal informational feedback, feeling JUST the core muscles, loosing the rest of the tension, all leads to muscle memory to KEEP great alignment. After a few sessions no matter how fast of a decision you must make in any movement, this alignment is there for you after months or over a year of weekly training on your own!

Aug. 2016 Testimonial
“It’s been weeks since I took Mary’s Heller Barre Practice class, and what I discovered about my body during that time was amazing.
I do have an innate ability to move with confidence – – to walk or even run a bit if I want to. To stoop, to bend, even to use good balance.
I discovered all that through the weeks of the class, and I was better able to walk with greater comfort as well. Now, sometimes I was a little sore the next day…which makes me think taking it twice a week would be even better as I tend to practice little on my own. The greater confidence I gained in my movement, particularly walking, was well worth the time and effort! Thank you, thank you, Mary!”
