Online Sessions

“I am here to guide you toward transformation in both body and mind,
where and when you need it.”

Our goal is to help clients move with more confidence, freedom and reduced pain. We teach our clients how to visualize inner muscles at work and implement the idea that body awareness is the key to sustaining lifelong structural support.

Using the core principles of Pilates (Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breath, and Flow) combined with Melanie’s extensively diverse movement/ kinesiology and rehabilitation background, we provide customized sessions incorporating various elements of conditioning including dance, yoga, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Franklin Method, Yamana Body Rolling, Yoga Tune-Up and Gyrotonic/Gyrokinesis.

During Melanie’s 20+year career as a professional Pilates educator, she has worked with a diverse clientele, including:

Professional Athletes – Cyclists, runners, swimmers, gymnasts, dancers, ice skaters and golfers

Rehabilitation – Spinal stenosis, spondylothesis, other disc/vertebrae trauma, hip replacement, knee/foot trauma, shoulder/neck issues, neurological impairment, wheelchair users and individuals with other mobility restrictions

Pregnancy – Prenatal, pregnant and post-natal women

Transitional Clients – Moving from physical therapy to a regular exercise program

Dedicated Clients – Those serious about beginning a movement practice they can sustain and develop for the rest of their lives

We offer live online One-To-One, Semi-Private and Group Pilates wellness sessions that are comprehensive and efficient, allowing you to fit exercise, mindfulness and self-care back into your schedule!

Eliminate travel time and avoid competitive and distraction-filled atmospheres with this innovative online movement approach.

When so much is being asked of us it can be a challenge to find the time for ourselves. Even if we have an injury or persistent pain we somehow continue to put everyone and everything ahead of ourselves.

“ I am here to help you get back some of your well deserved “ME time”.”

HOW IT WORKS

We are here to help you get back some of your well deserved “ME time”.

Step 1 - Set Up Your Space

Grab a mat, find a quiet space and turn up the lights!

Place your computer, tablet or smartphone far enough from you so your instructor can see your body.

Don’t worry, we will guide you through this at the beginning of the session!

Step 2 - Set Up Your Tech

We use Zoom video conferencing for our live sessions. You will receive a link to your call via email from us.

If you are joining for the first time, you can download the plugin (if on a computer) or the app (if on a phone or tablet) before the call. Alternatively, you can join the session via a link on your internet browser.

Step 3 - Set Up Your Body

Make sure to have your doctor’s clearance before taking your session and be prepared to let your teacher know of any physical issues you might be experiencing.

Wear something comfortable (a lighter shade of clothing (at least top) is preferable and makes it easier for us to see your alignment) and we will help you do the rest!

“I love your attention to detail. You have such a good eye for catching the small things that make a big difference. I really appreciate how you challenge me and make me work hard and while showering me with compassion and kindness. You also have a gift for explaining things in an easy to understand manner. Thank you so much Melanie!”

Trina Altman, PMA®-CPT, E-RYT 500 Creator, Pilates Deconstructed® and Yoga Deconstructed® STOTT Pilates® Certified, Los Angeles, CA

"Melanie McGray is an incredible Pilates instructor and I would highly recommend taking sessions with her via the Nourished Body online platform. She has an extensive teaching background in dance, anatomy, and movement that gives her an expert eye for alignment and pacing. She has the unique ability to guide deep muscular connections into the body, bringing awareness and endurance to your movements, (aka kicking your butt!), all with a positive and encouraging vibe. Melanie’s cueing is rich in detail and metaphor. Her smooth flowing Pilates sessions will leave you feeling connected, strong, free of tension, and renewed with energy!"

“Over the years, I’ve watched Melanie make the transition from exquisite dancer to eminent body-work professional. Her success is the result of a synthesis of her profound understanding of movement, strength, alignment and agility. Personally, Melanie was able to help me reorganize my inherent bodily “knowing” into a system of methodical practice that immensely contributes to my overall health and wellness. My transforming body attests to her expanding wisdom and care.”

Todd Courage (MFA Dance: Creative Practice): dancer, choreographer, teacher, and dance scholar, San Francisco, CA

“Melanie knows her stuff! I’ve watched her transform people who never thought they’d get better from their condition. She’s a Pilates genius.”

Gregory Patterson, Associate Professor of Dance, Dance Program Director; Oakland University, Artistic Director; Patterson Rhythm Pace, Detroit, MI

“I highly recommend Melanie as an exceptional and qualified trainer! She has a broad understanding of anatomy and movement, an excellent eye for correct alignment, and an extensive knowledge of strength and flexibility training. The online format was much simpler than I expected and it was fabulous to be able to train right in my home!”
