Navitha rediscovered her passion for movement when she started managing Yoga Movement in Singapore in 2013. Being in an environment where wellness was fostered allowed her to return to her body. As she strengthened her body through yoga, she started branching out into functional fitness. As she progressed, the people around her noticed the positive changes both to her body and energy levels, and began to ask her what she was doing that caused such drastic changes. While she knew what worked for her body, Navitha did not feel qualified to give advice to others, but she still wanted to help. This is what inspired her to become an ACE certified personal trainer. After acquiring her accreditations, she started training others in a positive and inclusive environment, as she aims to meet people where they are at, regardless of where they are in their journey. After a back injury unrelated to her fitness regimen, she shifted her focus to recovery and restorative programs, and went on to complete a course in pain free movement. She understands that we have one body in our lifetime, and we need to do as much as we can to honor and protect it to ensure the best quality of life as we continue to age. She hopes to be of service to her community by helping others feel able, confident, and comfortable in their own bodies for a long time to come.

Navitha loves traveling, and has lived in New Zealand, China, The Czech Republic, Zambia and Singapore and is now loving her time in New York. When she is not working, she enjoys discovering new places and experiences with friends both old and new, and when the activity permits it, her dog Cali joins them too! She also loves playing guitar, singing, and creating art.

“Hi, I’m Fiona Malamen and I’m a lifelong student of the body. We don’t live our lives in a straight line but in cycles, in ups and downs, moments of clarity and truth or confusion and distress. Since I graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Columbia Greene Community College in 2006, I have been holding safe space for healing and the recovery of homeostasis, the body’s “happy place.” This healing work is a collaborative partnership that prioritizes deep listening, something that is all too scarce in our broken and unequal healthcare system.

After graduating from SUNY New Paltz with a degree in Biology and Psychology, a session with mentor and local luminary Nina Silverman, P.T. introduced me to the osteopathic modality of Counterstrain. In this Indirect Approach, the therapist follows the signals of the body and releases occur in the direction of ease, rather than going against the tension and the body/mind defenses, to effectively relieve pain and inflammation.

Other influences in my life that helped me recognize the value of this approach include dance, West African dance, Eastern medicine philosophy and Buddhist psychology, a passion for Anatomy and my own self-compassionate healing process.

When I’m not being humbled by this work, gardening, foraging and hiking the Catskill peaks are a great source of pleasure and perspective.”
