In Movement Pilates

Co-Founder | Movement SpecialistGina Chai has spent the last 20 years cultivating the skills, knowledge, and intuition that define her as a movement teacher today. She is fully certified in Pilates (mat and all apparatus) and the GYROTONIC® Expansion System, including Pulley Tower Levels 1 & 2 (Part 1), Jump Stretch Board, and GYROTONER®.Her movement foundation is deeply interdisciplinary. Gina practiced yoga for over 20 years, studying with Bryan Kest, the founder of Power Yoga, and has a strong background in dance, including formal study of the Simonson Technique with Lynn Simonson in New York City while attending NYU. These influences inform her nuanced understanding of strength, flow, alignment, and musicality in movement.With a sharp eye and a deeply individualized approach, Gina works with clients of all physical backgrounds, from those recovering from injury to professional athletes seeking strength, balance, and longevity. She has collaborated closely with doctors, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals, valuing an integrated approach that supports the body as a whole rather than in isolation.Gina believes wellness is not a single practice, nor is it rooted in one rigid belief system or movement method. She will never be bound to only one approach, because not all bodies are the same and no two bodies respond the same way. She is a lifelong student of the body, continually learning, evolving, and refining her work to better serve each individual in front of her.If you’re ready to feel stronger, move with confidence, and support the lifestyle you love, Gina would be honored to guide you on that journey.
