Universal Principles of Movement Studio







Extraordinary Studio
The studio is located on the top floor of a   twelve-story building in upper Chelsea. The spaciousness of the studio extends out into a view in which sky and clouds can be seen at anytime of the day. Six windows bring in a brightness of sunlight rare to buildings in Manhattan.

Pilates fans will find a new perspective at Backbone and Wingspan which takes its whimsical name from founder Tim Driscoll’s wellness philosophy – which incorporates dynamic movement and Pilates – at an immaculate loft where he and three other teachers work with clients on two trapeze tables, two reformers, and a Gyrotonic machine. A semi-private area is reserved for CranioSacral therapy. The Feldenkrais Method, pre- and post-natal Pilates, stretching and strengthening mat classes are also offered. — nymag.com

Backbone and Wingspan is always looking for teachers and practitioners wishing to share a vision for the vast potential in movement along with an inspiring and uplifting view of sun, sky, and clouds. Call to see the space yourself if you have an interest in working with your clients alongside dynamic and caring people in such a vibrant, beautiful, spacious environment as this.

A very calm, light, clean place to go… the entire staff is kind and fun… a nice oasis during a hectic week.

A healing place with a completely zen, mellow vibe

A friendly, upbeat environment where in addition to learning mind-body, you are bound to have fun!

A friendly, comfortable, clean and efficient studio for people looking for an intimate training experience.

"People often express upon walking into the space that it feels good or that it has a nice vibe. Tim likes to muse that all of the witticisms, insights, laughter, and sighs of realization vibrate in the studio long after the mental, physical, or vocal expression of them has occurred."
