Pamela Kalechofsky
Everything I am involved in is movement and is art. Each path inspires movement of the physical, visual, and mental form. Each path inspires healing.
I am a Movement Artist, considering all of my artistic expressions to be inspired by motion and the flow of energy. I believe through movement we can discover peace, healing, and connection to ourselves and each other.
I graduated from the Long Island High School of the Arts (LIHSA) for Dance, earning my BFA in Dance, and MA in Secondary English Education at Long Island University. I am a NYS Certified and Tenured English Teacher, a 500 hour Certified Yoga Instructor registered with Yoga Alliance (RYT-500) and a Reiki and Thai Massage practitioner. I have worked as a dance educator and choreographer for over 20 years, I write fiction and poetry, paint, and create daily, hoping to inspire connection to ourselves and each other.

YOGA: I am a RYT-500 Hour Yoga Instructor, blessed to have earned my Teacher Training Certifications from Sonic Yoga in NYC and AYM in Rishikesh, India. I am available for private and / or group classes for Vinyasa Yoga, Stretch Classes, Pranayama, and Meditation, in person and virtually. I think through practice we can uncover more about ourselves and the universe. We can gain the ability to take our yoga, as if in a container, and integrate it into our lives; that container being the self! I believe everyone has the capability to integrate their discoveries into their lives to live a fuller, more cognizant, existence. I share strong alignment cues to assist in asana development and injury prevention, but I believe it doesn’t matter what shape you take, it only matters how that shape makes you feel. I seek to cultivate an energy of happiness, and a feeling of light and positivity.

DANCE EDUCATION & CHOREOGRAPHER: Education has always been an important aspect of my life, so I earned my BFA in Dance and my Masters in Secondary English Education. In my early career, I performed throughout NYC, Long Island, and the United States, and was awarded tenure as a New York State middle and high school English teacher.
I pride myself in providing a well-rounded education for students, teaching technique and alignment, movement awareness, mind-body connection, and vocabulary and skills. I strive to instill confidence and positivity, and create a supportive, nurturing classroom environment where dancers of all levels can flourish.
I have been a dance educator and choreographer for over 20 years, predominately offering Ballet and Contemporary, and have choreographed hundreds of works for performance and competition. Class and work size ranges from an individual to nearly 100 students in production pieces.
Dance is a way we can express ourselves without words, a way we can share our thoughts and feelings, and it is a way we can come together as a community to create art with our bodies. Teaching is one of my greatest passions and I am so grateful to be able to share my love daily.
I am available virtually and in person for private, group classes, and choreography.
VISUALIZATION HEALER: I am a Reiki practitioner and in addition, use visualization techniques such as light, color, and energy to assist in your healing as I take you through a guided meditation. I collaborate with you, listen, feel, and understand your needs. Then, together, we work to release. Sometimes I will use sound to assist in your meditation. I am available virtually.
THAI YOGA MASSAGE / INTUITIVE BODY WORK: This is such a beautiful practice and healing work. I am so fortunate to have studied with Lotus Palm School at Integral Yoga in NYC. This work becomes a pairing of numerous healing modalities for me, intuitively listening to the body, utilizing the visualization techniques when needed, and then physically feeling the body’s tension and ease as we move through the practice. * While Thai Massage is not available virtually, I can lead you through guided stretches customized for your needs.
SOUND: I feel so connected to sound and so moved by it’s vibrations and sensations, especially those of sound bowls. I am available for sound meditations both individually and for a group.
ART WORK: I usually paint with acrylic. Being so inspired by movement is reflected in my paintings. My works are an array of color, texture, and design, with free flowing forms and images left for your interpretation. My color palette often to emotional palette I am currently connecting with.
