Colette Barry

Bio:

I've been involved in the health profession, muscle work and physical fitness for over 30 yrs.

I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist, Thai Yoga Therapist, Pilates Instructor, Yoga Instructor and founder of a powerful fitness program combining both Yoga and Pilates on a Gravity System called Yoga n’ Pilates. I've also written and illustrated a book tiltled "Wall Yoga" and hope to publish it by 2008.

Throughout my career I've treated/rehabbed many forms of muscular illnesses and complications such as Muscular Dystrophy, MS, Fibromyalgia, Joints Injuries and Back Injuries. I've also treated clients with Depression, Insomnia, and Emotional stress. My Husband Phil, is a Chiropractor and we own a Health & Fitness Facility called Barry’s Health & Wellness Center.

Inspiration:  I would like to write articles regarding getting the most out of your Yoga/Pilates workout by mastering a few basic fundamentals that are usually ignored in yoga/pilates practice. My book offers topics such as "Power of Grounding", "Asana Lockdown", "Get a Clue", "Attitude in Favor" and many more.

These topics provide ideas and suggestions on how to develop solid core alignment, better concentration and a healthier athletic body no matter what age or injuries you may encountered in your life.
