About Me
PortDeBras™ Expert Trainer – Pilates Instructor – Barre By Lucie Creator
PortDeBras™ Elite Trainer
Pilates Instructor
Namastery Barre Body Creator
Certified and Devoted PortDeBras™ and Pilates Instructor. Educator and Lifelong Learner. To me, movement is an obsession, I can’t get enough of it nor can I live without it. It’s all-encompassing and represents passion and self-expression. It’s what makes me smile from the inside out. It’s what gets me up in the morning to chase after my two boys. Similar to a good meal, the joy of movement is meant to be shared and communicated with others.
As someone who has had to work incredibly hard to get to where I am today, I understand first-hand the need for of a well-rounded knowledge-based movement instructor. For over 20 years I have studied, internalized and taken the best from various inspired modalities from Pilates both Matwork and Apparatus to Spiraldynamics to dance and fitness I melded them together as one.
My approach to teaching is simple: be direct, friendly and empathetic. I am a true believer in a strong female alliance. I encourage and support women to discover and not be afraid of uncovering their uniqueness and beauty through movement. This goes beyond a mission, this is what I was meant to do.
Along with my background knowledge and training in Pilates and functional fitness, the PortDeBras™ technique is how I have chosen to spread the principles of fluid, functional and elegant movement with others. I describe it as moving meditation intended to simultaneously heal and strengthen the body and the mind.

WHAT IS PortDeBras™ ?
The French word “port de bras” (pronounced pour-duh-bra) is a ballet term that literally means “the carriage of the arms.” The PortDeBras™ method is the brainchild of Russian choreographer Vladimir Snezhik. Mr. Snezhik saw a gap in the fitness industry and wanted to create a system where people regardless of age, ability and skill level could experience the joy of dance through free-flowing movement. But PortDeBras™ is NOT a dance class and NO dance experience is required. It is, rather, a unique amalgam of principles and techniques borrowed from yoga, pilates, tai-chi, ballet and stretch work combined in such a way that you get the feeling AS IF you were dancing.
BENEFITS OF PortDeBras™
PotDeBras™ is both restorative and rejuvenating. With an emphasis on flowing movement, this no-impact workout is safe and effective for everyone regardless of age and fitness level. The method targets the entire core with a special focus on strengthening the spine. PortDeBras™ uses elongating and strength conditioning techniques to work the body as a whole. The arms, legs, hands and feet move together in coordination with the core. The result is a healthier, fitter YOU with increased flexibility, better posture, a healthy range of motion and long, lean muscles giving the body a sculpted and streamlined look.
