Regula's Joy of Movement, Inc.
Regula Frey from Chicago, (specifically Wilmette, IL) teaches small classes in Yoga, Pilates Reformer, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) and Yamuna Body Rolling. She provides one-on-one personal training utilizing all of these methods, with or without equipment. Her classes are compact in groups of 4 in which she is able to give individual attention to her students and adopt to their requirements and pace. She also offers private Healing Touch Massages for therapeutic purposes and integration.
Why Yoga?
Yoga is for people who feel a need to connect with their inner self. This exercise of your body is about learning about your self and appreciating how much one can do in a very short time, and most importantly have fun while doing it.
Regula loves to work as a healer with people who have suffered strokes, or who have scoliosis or traumas that reflect in their physical body during their life.
Class Descriptions
- Yoga: Basic yoga classes involve teaching your body flexibility and thus gaining a deeper understanding of your body.
- Pilates Reformer: Pilates Reformer exercises are for gaining control over breathing and alignment of the spine, with the aim to strengthen the muscles around the torso.
- Once you have taken two private sessions or have Regula's approval, you are welcome to attend classes of mixed level students. Modified and advanced versions of Reformer are taught according to the students needs.
- Yamuna Body Rolling: The Yamuna Body Rollings (YBR) are basically exercises for your muscles allowing you to focus on specific areas of the body teaching you to work over muscles. These are done using a specially designed ball on which you roll part of your body or your whole body stimulating and stretching the muscles. This is a great stress and tension releasing exercise.
- Feldenkrais Method: Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) is also a body movement exercise with emphasis on bones and skeletal system.

Words from Regula
I trained at the Yoga Circle in Chicago for two years and continued my studies thereafter at the Lake Street Yoga Center in Evanston. I completed training with the Kriya Yoga Temple in 2006 and am now teaching Hatha Yoga with Iyengar awareness of alignment for the asanas (poses).
My Pilates studies began in 1995 at the Midwest Pilates Center in Evanston and I continued my work with Pilates at From The Center, Chicago in 2006.
Simultaneously, it was of great importance for me to integrate the work of Moshe Feldenkreis to offer others the possibility for movement with less effort and more grace. I completed my Awareness Through Movement education with the ISSE (Institute For Somatic Studies Education) from San Francisco in 2007.
Yamuna Body Rolling is a deep self massage where the body finds its natural state, alignment. This self massage compliments yoga and Pilates, and fits very well with my understanding of self-care, both in my personal practice, and with clients and students. I finished my studies with Yamuna in 2004.
All four movement modalities develop core strength and are ways of creating inner vision, which is a meditation. I love to bring this meditation to others so that they may find a connection to who they really are, the best qualities, those that last forever.
My vision of creating Regula's Joy of Movement started in 1995 when I enrolled at the IM School of Healing Arts in Manhattan, to make peace with my past, joy, to find peace in every day and the strength to go on. I finished my studies there in 2001.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can one start with who is interested in trying an alternate technique for healing?
- Depending on your present state of health I can make a recommendation on what will work best for you. If you are not comfortable with that or if it does not work for you, you can always find another modality which suits you best.
How many times a week should I do Yoga for it to be effective?
- For the effectiveness and to set a steady pace it is recommended that you take these exercises twice a week. (This goes for any modality.)
What is the best technique for me if I am out of shape?
- It depends on your preference if you like constant movement, stillness or little movement. All modalities work and strengthen the core enabling you to become very aware of you body. AWARENESS is what HEALS.
At the end of the a semester with you, will I be able to do these exercises un-aided?
- After 10 consecutive sessions in either modality one learns enough to practice at home. There always remains a difference of someone observing and helping your alignment. Your body and mind then become balanced.
How hard is it for someone new to catch on? Would I have difficulties understanding the concepts?
- I have often heard from people new to this getting frustrated easily or feeling hard to understand. My suggestion to them is that I speak to the body first and the mind gets it from the body not the other way. This mode is new to many people unless they are artists or non linear. Everyone gets it if they give themselves a chance to remember this forgotten language".
Do you offer group sessions such as 3-4 friends coming for sessions in one go with a preference to be in the same class?
- Yes :-) A group session with 4 people is $20 per person and $25 for 3.
