Laura Dixon's movement background began with ballet at the age of three, and has since grown to encompass the exercise systems of Pilates, GYROTONIC®, and GYROKINESIS®.

With a passion for dance and performing, Ms. Dixon earned her B.F.A. in Dance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Following college, she performed with professional companies in Chicago and Detroit.  In 2000, Ms. Dixon completed her Pilates certification through Body Balance, and soon thereafter pursued further education at Equilibrium, a Stott Pilates Teacher Training Center in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.  In 2002, Ms. Dixon completed her GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC® Foundation Training with Master Trainer, Juergen Bamberger, and completed the certification process with Juliu Horvath, founder of the GYROTONIC Expansion System®.

Ms. Dixon opened Harmony Mind Body Fitness in 2002, in pursuit of creating a welcoming studio where clients of all ages and physical abilities could work to improve their mind body connection.  Over the past four years, she has been fortunate to work with a wonderful clientele, and enjoys learning from them everyday.

A strong advocate of continuing education, Laura annually attends the Body Mind Spirit Conference in California, and has most recently completed various teaching workshops including: Survive & Thrive™, Prenatal Pilates, Pilates for Arthritis, Eric Franklin’s “Release Your Shoulders, Liberate Your Neck” and “Pelvic Power”, Pilates & Women’s Health, Anatomy Trains, Pilates for Athletes, and Stott Pilates BOSU. 

Harmony Mind Body Fitness is a member of the Pilates Method Alliance, a national organization dedicated to preserving the integrity of Joseph Pilates’ vision.
