About
Welcome to Aria Method
Hi, I'm Aria Kabiri. It is nice to meet you.
​
My passion is to help clients find their own inner resources in balancing their physical, mental and emotional bodies, so that they can live their best lives. I worked as nurse anesthetist for 21 years. I was in car accident in 2011 and I developed chronic pain. Yoga and Pilates as well as doing self hypnosis helped me heal my body and mind.
My love is to help others gain strength, flexibility and balance in their body as well as their mind. I teach Pilates, mat, Reformer, Apparatus, CoreAlign, different types of Yoga, Personal Training, Meditation, Yoga Therapy for mental health. I also work in advanced medical hypnosis and pain management. I enjoy teaching privately as well as teaching workshops. I work with many individuals who have physical injuries, pain, osteoporosis and scoliosis. I am certified in Pilates for osteoporosis. I teach clients how to tap into their own resources to find balance in their own physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. I also enjoy working with athletes and having them become stronger in their sport.
