THE
LONGEVITY PROJECTS

INITIATIVES

about.
Looking back on my years as a professional dancer, I’ve come to understand how vital it is to care for and preserve the body. something I, unfortunately, had to learn the hard way.
I’m Ariel Gelbart.
I'm A certified sport therapist, personal trainer, Pilates, and dance teacher.
After suffering a debilitating spinal injury, I spent years in pain, undergoing a long and humbling rehabilitation process.
I quite literally had to learn how to walk again.
Through that journey, I now realize that many of our youth, students, and professional dancers are missing something essential in their daily practice.
It goes beyond daily prehab.
It goes beyond a good rehab.
It’s about learning and experiencing the tools of longevity.
It's about building a body and mind that can sustain a lifetime of movement.
Now, I wish to share what I’ve learned through my own recovery and professional path.
This is what the Longevity Projects are all about.
