Maureen (Mo) Gorman
Pilates
Maureen (Mo) Gorman, MFA, is dedicated to many movement modalities. She is a dancer, pilates practitioner, and yogi. Mo cultivates joy by teaching clients to connect with their body knowledge as a route to autonomy and authenticity. As a pilates instructor, mo is trained in both classical/contemporary methods. She received her classical pilates mat, reformer, chair, and Cadillac certifications from Jodi Stern in Rochester, NY, in 2014, and her Basi-informed reformer certification from Michelle Pritchard, who is formally trained under Karen Clippinger and Rael Isacowitz. Mo is drawn to pilates to emphasize skill building, preparing practitioners for graceful aging. Her physical practice journey led her to yoga, where she received a certification from Yoga for a Good Hood. Mo enjoys yoga philosophy because it can change a person’s outer world through introspective mindfulness practices. This knowledge informs her educator lens. Mo’s most significant and oldest love is dance. Mo is an adjunct professor who taught dance majors from Nazareth College, SUNY Brockport, and Alfred University.
