Testimonials
”I am BEYOND GRATEFUL to be able to take Maria's live-streamed bodyART class on a consistent basis. The class has served to keep me physically active at a time when I can not go to a gym or take a group class at a physical location. Maria's positive energy combined with a workout that provides you with modified movement options allows you to challenge yourself while ensuring the prevention of injury or overexertion. The constant connection between movement and breath keeps your core engaged and your mind connected to your body, building to a full well rounded workout. All these elements together have culminated in me feeling and seeing change in my physique. But most importantly I culminate the hour feeling POWERFUL AND AT PEACE, leaving me prepared to CONQUER.”

”Continuation of dance instruction through virtual services during Covid-19 has been invaluable to my family. The structure and sense of normalcy and security it provides gets my children through these uncertain times. My daughter looks forward to seeing Maria’s friendly face each week and can’t wait to see which household items she will need to scavenge to incorporate into their exercises. I was a little skeptical about acro classes in the home but my daughter’s skills and confidence have continued to improve. We have always been impressed with Maria’s teaching style and her ability to continue teaching through a virtual platform further proves that she is the best!”

”I am so grateful to have Maria Cherniske as part of the New York bodyART Community. Joining in for class every week has been really helping with my stamina, breath and reducing my anxiety. I, personally, like to get my blood flowing and move my body on a regular basis. bodyART has been such a great help with achieving that goal. It is the perfect outlet to release any stress and press the reset button. I greatly enjoy Maria's class flow and her encouragement is always uplifting. It is such a great way to start my day.”
