Integrity of Self MovementArts® (ISMA) is a system of movement education designed to encourage awareness, appreciation, and utilization of the individual as a movement instrument. In some cases, it is a re-examination of how we move, which enables us to train or re-train our bodies to adopt more efficient movement habits.

We have classes for everyone.

We help students achieve personal development through our private classes. We are able to tailor programs for their growth and desired goals. We relieve muscle tension and stress with the BREATHWORK class. Build strength, flexibility, and mindfulness with our ENERGY FLOW. We have DYNAMIC WALK ISMA for building stamina and dynamic movements. You have a little one that needs help remembering their posture, then schedule a CHILDREN’S class. All these classes provide the benefits that help nourish the mind and body.
