Building mindful movement.
The Motus Way:
Our goal in movement is to bridge the gap between health: the state of being, and wellness: the state of living.
We’re not interested in trendy fad diets, exercise programs, and other "quick fix" approaches to wellness. The vast majority of “wellness” fads fail terribly when it comes to addressing long-ingrained poor health and fitness habits.
At Motus, we value simple, proven foundational movement principles informed by decades of experience working with patients who want to feel radically better in their everyday lives. Rooted in science-backed methodologies, our proprietary classes are designed to teach and then challenge key movements–building strength, optimizing mobility, and developing a deeper awareness and understanding of how we operate our bodies in motion. We intend to EDUCATE each person about their body and mind, thereby bridging the existing gap between health and wellness care.
Living healthfully is a lifelong pursuit, and our grounding, energizing movement practices are guaranteed to empower you to feel your absolute best–physically, mentally, and spiritually.
At Motus, our unique yoga classes combine the fundamental principles of yoga and strength training to build a better, stronger, and more knowledgeable mover.
Yoga asana, or postural practice, is rooted in mindful movement. Each practice is designed to help you develop a deeper awareness of your body and its vast potential. The curriculum for each class is aimed at both educating and strengthening, repeatedly illuminating the why and the how behind each movement. Embodying this concept ensures long-term changes. We encourage our students to find depth in the basics; from there, more elusive and challenging yoga postures become accessible.
M-FIT is a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) fitness class that introduces fundamentals while strongly emphasizing movement quality.
We focus on foundational movement patterns (squat, deadlift, etc.), and work to strengthen them by using interval training programs like AMRAP (As Many Rounds/Reps As Possible) and EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute).
Workouts consist of bodyweight and resistance work (weights, bands, etc.), and also incorporate tempo and explosive training.
Whether you’re just starting to become more active or you’re a seasoned athlete, these classes will make you sweat, grow your strength, and build you up.

Mindfulness training isn’t limited to meditation, but it’s a great place to start.
At Motus, we recognize meditation as an essential practice for cultivating awareness and compassion, not only toward others but especially with ourselves.
We meditate to better understand who we are at our core, and how our mind relates to that. Life is sometimes difficult, and while we can’t control what happens, we do have the power to transform how we respond to the challenges delivered to us.
When our patients learn to sit with their minds, they’re training to be more open, at ease, and in touch with their inner resources of calm, clarity, and contentment.
During childhood, I was diagnosed with three autoimmune diseases. In the midst of these three diagnoses, I chose to practice resilience through yoga, meditation, and nutritious meals. In return, this has motivated me to pursue a career that can help me provide the knowledge and tools for others to thrive. I obtained my 200hr RYT and my intention in teaching yoga is to provide a safe space for people to practice self love and self care. My classes incorporate the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh (and others alike), the philosophy of yoga, and the neuroscience that coincides with the practice of yoga.”

Watching the way these guys all work together is encouraging and honestly, I want to be friends with all of them. Couldn't speak more highly of the girls (and boys) at Motus!

The team at Motus took the time to establish a strong, trusting relationship, and gave me confidence that I would get the care and attention I needed. Their work has solved the knee injuries that plagued me for years, and has also given me the tools and knowledge to stay healthy going forward.
YOU will benefit you no matter what your current experience level is. Whether you're a total beginner who is living a sedentary lifestyle or an advanced practitioner in fantastic shape with the strength of an ox - these classes will challenge and improve your flexibility, strength, and balance. The Instruction increases your body awareness, you don't have to think about anything else but your breathing, and moving in the way they tell you to. The poses gradually become more difficult as the class progresses. I would 100% recommend Motus Rehab Clinic to anyone looking for classes.
The Motus team is wonderful and phenomenal at what they do. They care deeply about their patients. I finally recruited my husband after they expanded their offerings to include yoga. You will see results working with them.
