About
“I have seen Becky as her virtual and in-person student, trainee, and co-teacher. She is always thorough, precise, and attentive. She is a “teacher’s teacher”. She not only knows her craft, she is fascinated and enchanted by it and it shows.”
— Beth O.
Hello, I’m Becky Golberg, owner of Gemini Movement.
What is my movement history?
I was an advanced-level dancer/dance major/professional dance teacher throughout my teens and twenties. I was absolutely in love with the movement, but like many dancers, got caught up in body image issues that led to extreme anxiety and depression, body dysmorphia, and low self-esteem. After dropping out of college, I lost touch with movement for several years. I dabbled in yoga here and there, and in my early 30's, was introduced to Pilates. I lucked out and was invited into a space full of supportive, caring humans, who were all strong and beautiful movers, and all had unique and varied shapes. Coming back to movement was like coming home, but landing in that particular community was like returning to a new and improved home. Instead of the intensely competitive, body-shape-obsessed world of dance, I found myself in a new, mind-body connected place, where feeling strong and capable, and being in good health, is more important than fitting into a particular physical mold. This is where I live now, and this is where I'll stay. I invite you to join me here.
What can I do for you?
My goal is for you is to feel confident in your strength and ability, and appreciate all that your body does for you, whether you're:
healing from injury
preparing for/recovering from childbirth
a professional athlete trying to improve your performance
aging and wanting to extend/improve your mobility
just wanting to move your body and have some fun
I have worked with all of the above, as well as trained and tutored teachers in multiple modalities. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together.
