Starr has used the Pilates principles as the main element in all of her teaching forums for special populations wellness programs. “I love the concept of the mind and body integration movements- body awareness, and quality movements over quantity movements.” The ideology of the "Keep Your Balance" movements teaches the visualization and diaphramatic breathing while encouraging the practitioner to concentrate and focus on control and precision of the movement while the extremities are in motion. 

Orginally the"Keep Your Balance" Program was created and modeled from a evidenced based fall prevention format; out of the need to help increase strength, improve balance, coordination, range of motion and postural alignment for individuals affected by a cancer diagnosis and experiening the after affects of post treatment therapies. The focus of the KYB program is to build a strategic process and to develop an intergrated county-wide plan to implement comprehensive fall prevention strategies for at risk older adults, and cancer survivors to get moving,stay active and be safe through restorative movement and fall prevention awareness.

Starr's main goal and objective: To offer individuals cancer survivors and senior adults an opportunity to progressively take back their physical power…one muscle at a time.”  Class Participants who have experience this unique concept have regained energy and strength, and improved balance and mobility becoming functionally fit, to perform daily activities with ease and enjoy a better quality of life.
