From my earliest days years as an MFA student teaching yoga and Pilates, I have been on a journey to discover and to teach others about the human body. I never get tired of moving: I’ve been a choreographer and dancer for over 25 years, a competitive speed skater later in life, and have earned my CrossFit and Yoga Tune Up® certifications. I’ve climbed high peaks around the world, and ridden my bike 545 miles three times over for charity. My life is about giving all I have learned to those who seek to maximize their physical potential. My reason for teaching is to create time and space for athletes to heal, to build a movement practice they benefit from and enjoy, and to help them understand the value of improving their game and living sustainable, healthy lives. I believe whether dead lifting double your body weight, skating at high speed on the edge of a sharp blade, or flying across the stage in a grand jeté, it’s all the same. It’s a basic primal sensation of feeling utterly human and wonderfully alive. My wish is for everyone to be able to experience this for themselves. Striving toward the full potential of your power of expression through movement is what I love to teach. https://www.yasmenmehta.com/home daily 1.0 2021-05-27 https://www.yasmenmehta.com/pilates daily 0.75 2021-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e308ff56112340faf37015f/1584403449510-CJ7ZW4VKACVNHYKX0B4Z/JMT_1046_Edit.jpg Pilates - Through practicing Pilates you can expect a toned body, increased flexibility, and improved mobility. You may also find that you become more in tune with your body. In terms of mental benefits, you may feel less stressed and more focused. On the apparatuses there is nowhere to hide your weaknesses. As a lot of seasoned athletes come in for the first time and say, “wow, that kicked my ass!” I modify exercises to suit your practice and have taught everyone from NBA athletes to athletes coming out of hip replacements. Pilates is truly a lifelong fitness regimen for anyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e308ff56112340faf37015f/1584403426166-ANCI4PN17O6HMIODSQCQ/JMT_0884_Edit.jpg Pilates https://www.yasmenmehta.com/yoga-tune-up-mobility daily 0.75 2021-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e308ff56112340faf37015f/1584396649011-COUSGF8MXEL9D2KYW9MB/mom%27s+website.jpg Yoga Tune Up® /Mobility - Pain. Posture. Performance. How can you be free of pain, keep good posture as a daily practice, and improve your performance in your workouts or sport? All three are deeply intertwined when muscles, ligaments, and joints are overused, underused, misused and abused. Our body adapts to dysfunction for long periods of time, until one day it fails. I believe many athletes fall short of recognizing a holistic approach to training. It’s not always how hard and long you work out, but also how much attention you give to joint, muscle and tissue maintenance, and best movement practices that work for your body type. A decrease in range of motion, or loss of power, and over time pain and swelling ensues and we land up in a mess. Our bodies are healing machines if we just know how to let it heal, the “how” is simpler then you think. The mobility and Yoga Tune Up® work is dynamic and static and works with therapy balls and bands to pry apart adhesions, increase hydration, relieve pain and allow the muscles to “slide and glide over each other” (as mobility guru Kelly Starrett would say) to make lasting structural changes. . All my sessions include a discussion on posture and how athletes can take measures to improve their lives outside the gym. I also look at their movement as they go through basic practices such as mid-line stabilization, squat and overhead techniques. I believe in keeping things manageable and uncomplicated, so that mobility becomes a built-in daily practice as opposed to something you work at only when you are in pain.. My mantra is play offense with your body not defense. We are now living in an age of fast cars, fast information, fast food, fast everything that makes our life a little more comfortable as technology drives us forward. However, modernity has wreaked mayhem on our bodies as we sit for hours, whether on long flights or at our desks. We then decide to pick up and start moving at 65 miles an hour at the gym or at whatever sport we choose. That’s not going to work in the long run. I believe in simple strategies to combat that --- and they work! https://www.yasmenmehta.com/schedule-and-fees daily 0.75 2021-05-03 https://www.yasmenmehta.com/covid19 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.yasmenmehta.com/strength-and-conditioning daily 0.75 2021-05-27 https://www.yasmenmehta.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2021-05-27
