Adara Movement Approach

Participate in a movement-filled lifestyle with vitality. Kris Desjardins aims to change the way we live our daily lives by helping people to move in a way that profoundly affects their physiology and psychology. By communicating her knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics, she prepares and assists her clients to lead a healthy, active lifestyle. Adara ensures that clients support themselves by moving optimally through safe participation. Paired with ongoing management and education, they achieve autonomy in movement. Blossoming from the relationship that exists between healthcare and fitness, Adara is founded on Kris’s experience as a Physiotherapist and the somatic roots of the Pilates method. The combination of the two allowed her to shift her focus from solely the performance of exercise towards the conscious attention in the body and all the benefits that come with it. For Kris, it became apparent that fitness is related to more than cardiovascular and muscle loading. Instead, a more holistic perspective recognizes how our movement affects our entire body as an interrelated system. Using her experience and knowledge, Kris integrates ideas and philosophies from a broad range of disciplines to better prepare and assist her clients in leading the healthy and active lifestyles they crave.
