True North
was born out of a passion to cultivate a community of like minded individuals who all share a love of Pilates, Wellness, and Community, as well as the desire to live a more balanced, centered way of life. Founded by Keri Hawkins and ignited by the disruptions felt in the community during the global pandemic, True North seeks to elevate mind and body through Pilates movement, along with innovative anti-aging therapies to connect the mind, body and soul ….. guiding us along the path to our True North. Keri has long been a fitness enthusiast and began teaching group classes as a hobby during college. However, her true passion for helping others came during a challenging period in her life where she struggled to find a way back to health and happiness. It was then that she found Pilates became a primary source of inspiration and strength, and rebuilt the confidence needed to get past life’s challenges and thrive. It was during this time that she also developed a deeper connection to body, mind and spirit through the disciplined movement of Pilates and then later on in life… through Brazilian Jiujitsu (her two favorites sources of movement).
The Pilates Theory
Pilates remained a constant practice of Keri’s, throughout most of her life. In early 2000, she moved to New York City and took up a strict and discipline of Pilates and studied under Pilates Reforming NYC to become an instructor. It was there that she discovered the powerful benefits of this particular discipline and from that point on, throughout her many geographical moves, the first thing she would do is find her “home” in a neighborhood Pilates studio. She hopes that in sharing her love of Pilates that she will help create a safe space for others to explore their own personal journey and ultimately find their source of inspiration.
Community
is now what drives Keri in all of her pursuits and Pilates is deeply rooted in everything she does. After almost 20 years, she has a strong desire to share what she has learned through her life experiences, and share the tools that have helped her move through difficult transitions with ease and grace (and a lot of grit!). Pilates is ultimately a way of life; by infusing this movement discipline with state of the art wellness therapies, we believe you will experience unity between your mind, body, and spirit…and unity within the community. We hope that we can help bring you closer to your ultimate joy and fulfillment.
