Meet Dr. Connie Cheung
I’ve been on both sides of the treatment table.
I’ve been a clinician since 2001. I built studios, trained teachers, and brought physical therapy, Pilates, yoga, nutrition, and functional medicine together in my work.
Physical therapy, a master’s in nutrition, and seven years of functional medicine training gave me deep expertise in physiology and neurology: how muscles, organs, and the nervous system adapt to what we ask of them—and to what life asks of us.
As an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher and double-certified Pilates practitioner, I bring that science onto the mat, where breath, movement, and attention work together, and body and mind are trained as one.
Then lupus, kidney failure, dialysis, and a transplant put me on the other side. I knew the anatomy. What I wasn’t ready for was the distance between the body I remembered and the body I was living in. It can be hard to imagine the future, which can hurt deeply.
I had to learn to start where I was—not where I used to be. That’s what I teach now: a practical place to begin, and a clear way to build.
