"To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.
This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking." ~Agnes De Milles~

Bernadette Giorgi

I am passionate about movement and see everything we do as a part
of "our life's great dance." I am a Certified Personal Fitness & Pilates Trainer, Group Instructor, Black Belt, TV Fitness Expert, Mom :)
As a teen, I had the priviledge to dance in a unique program partnered with Joffrey Ballet in NYC, under the artistic direction of Gerald Arpino and Ballets Elan with artistic director and choreographer Paul Wagner. My prior training was with Madame Mary E Sisom at the prestigious Academy of Dance.
After suffering severe injuries to my knees, that eventually led to multiple surgeries, I began to train more intensely with a renewed understanding and appreciation of my Pilates that I knew as a dancer.
Through rehabilitation and physical therapy, I was introduced to weight training. Missing my time "at the barre" I began to combine my beloved ballet with Pilates and light weights. I quickly became stronger, leaner, and more centered than ever! Through this "fusion" I also began to relate my spiritual health with my physical health - with concentration of the space you create through the Breath and my outward strength turned me inward where true energy & Power radiates - deep within my core ..

                           My passion for fluid movement in ballet, the lengthening moves of Pilates and the strength gained from light weights, I developed and began teaching the principles of all three disciplines into one comprehensive program – JUST b METHOD! My new-found "spirit" of movement and exercise inspires all of my workouts as well as integrate the mental and physical disciplines that I gained from training for my Black Belt in the korean Martial Art: Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan.
I have worn many hats in my professional life: model, actress, wardrobe stylist, makeup artist, but always drawn back to movement and its creative expression - how great it made me feel! And how great it is to share it with others!

I recently was the female lead in an Idependent film "5iVe"
