Anyone can teach. We believe that teaching starts only with our growth as individuals. You will see us on the mat beside you. We will be in your community. We will grow when you grow, you will grow as we grow. At Blackbird we will teach you but only when you are ready. We believe being honest with ourselves and you is our greatest power. We offer Pilates and Yoga because they work together and support each other. Both are mind and body, promoting growth and strength. Blackbird is dedicated to giving its community the best.

Yoga is a moving meditation. The yoga taught at Blackbird is powerful and vigorous focusing on the bandhas, asanas and breath control. Based in the deep awareness of joining mind and body together. Working with the core to control the breath and the strength of the postures you become part of your practice and part of the community. The yoga at Blackbird flows and allows you to challenge your body and mind with focus and intent. You are encouraged to peel the layers away and set yourself free.

Blackbird Pilates and Yoga Studio in Ithaca, NY set up for Yoga

Pilates is based on the principle that the first step to a strong sound body and mind is the development of the core. The stability and strength of the core will in turn lead to a balance of the abdominal muscles, the back and the buttocks. Once this is set in place the peripheral parts come into play to challenge the core. Thus each pilates exercise is a play of opposition. Movement in one direction is challenged by the stabilization in the opposite. This allows Pilates to lengthen and strengthen muscles. Mental focus is key. Learning to concentrate fully into each exercise, focusing on precision and control. Being one with your body. That is Pilates.
