I've been working with Tom since 2004 and truly believe that his unique style of teaching and exercises helped me earn my 12 medals in the Athens, Beijing and London Olympics.

We have moved to a virtual platform, so that we can continue to support the health and well-being of all of you in our community. Now, more than ever, it is important to keep up with our movement practices! Your response to our virtual sessions has been positive and very heart-warming:
“Today was my first virtual group with Center of Balance. It worked really well and I feel so good today. My instructor’s ability to cue each of us remotely was so helpful. The work was great and being connected this way to the Center of Balance community just lifts my spirits and centers my mind in the present. I am really looking forward to my next online group class!”
Our experienced instructors can skillfully work with you remotely for a personal program and to achieve positive results. You will be led through a balanced, centering movement experience, with or without props / equipment, to give you the personal feedback and relevant exercises that are best for you at this time. Private sessions are available, including Pilates with a Therapist with Therese and Michelle. Please email us at if you are interested in scheduling!
We are sending you and your loved ones warmth and light,
- Tom, Karen and the Center of Balance staff
