Take control of your own health & wellbeing
JIYÚ is the Japanese word for freedom & autonomy. In order to achieve this, we must first heal, explore our own authenticity, then integrate what we learn in order to be whole. Freedom is the result of living an examined and balanced life.
Utilizing the principles of (East) massage, yoga, martial arts, philosophy, and (West) exercise, nutrition, & behavioral science to help students cultivate their long-term health, creativity, and personal goals.
My approach is to adapt to the student’s needs, and give them a sense of ownership over their own health and life through embodiment, rather than try to fit them into a cookie cutter system or method.
A holistic approach means we approach the person as a whole, not just a specific symptom. Every aspect of our lives is interconnected. To be truly healthy we need to be educated on how our body, mind, and patterns influence one another. Learning to manage stress, eliminate pain, heal injuries, juggle responsibilities, make healthier choices, create supportive relationships, and remember to play and have fun are all integral to a flourishing in life.
“I wanted to thank you for what you’ve taught me over these years. Working with you made a profound difference in my life - and the things we did taught me lessons I rely on every day. You helped me understand how to listen to my body — and to meet my body where it is, not to force it to be or do something it isn’t. And I just really appreciate that, and you, so much.”
“My wife and I had a great time training with Pasquale. He has a clear passion for his art, and incredibly knowledgeable about the human body and natural movement. I’d recommend training with him to anyone, especially those new to martial arts or those looking to develop more fluid and natural movement. ”
“I have been studying Systema for over a month. It is a remarkable approach to self-exploration, self-healing, and self-defense. It is really a life art. Pasquale is an excellent teacher: knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. He creates an environment that is relaxed yet rigorous. He will help you develop an individualized plan to focus on your goals. I cannot recommend him or Systema enough. You will have a great time.”
