A Safe Space to be YOU.
Movement as Sanctuary
Join us to explore, learn, and transform.
"We are dedicated to the empowerment and creative freedom of our students through the exploration and intelligent study of movement in a relaxed and non-toxic learning environment. We use Movement as a means to naturally empower ourselves and our students, to intervene with development as needed, and to enhance everyone's quality of life."

Our Work
Our classes are now Open for Enrollment in Madison, WI. Depending on the Program, we offer classes for Kids, Youth, Adult or Senior classes.
Here is what to look forward to - explore and join us for a truly unique experience: Adult & Senior Ballet with Catrina, exploratory Martial Arts at The Grasshoppers Club with Bo (Youth & Family Practice), Private Feldenkrais® sessions with Catrina, Workshops, Camps & Events.
We welcome you to a mindset of holding and moving through your own sacred, safe space. A space of connection, relief, exploration, and respite from the daily noise.
Join us anytime to explore how Movement can be used to improve quality of life, assist in personal transformation, and offer a powerful portal into a personal space of joyful empowerment.
SomaBallet & Ballet Joy
Catrina brings a lifetime of professional experience and love for Ballet, a nurturing passion for teaching, and a modern approach to Ballet as a way of life.
Madison Grasshoppers Club
Bo is a former I-Power Gymnastics NINJA Program Director and brings 40+ years of Martial Arts practice and teaching experience to create an outstanding physical, mental, and emotional fitness program.
At Soma Studies, we work with skeletal alignment to allow for a balanced use of muscle effort to take place.
However, we also investigate the articulation and interaction of thinking, feeling, sensing, and moving.
We observe the intricacies between motivation, intention, and action while we listen to our own reactions and natural responses to the world around us.
If we understand what we do and how we do it, then and only then, can we achieve the desired outcome. With curiosity and exploration, the details of movement and body will unfold into a beautiful flow of Physical Fluency.
"Catrina's Awareness Through Movement classes offer pathways to increased body knowledge and a harmonious and peaceful mind-body connection."
CYNTHIA DRAYER,
Former School Director, The School of Sacramento Ballet
The Grasshoppers Method is the result of Bogdan's personal journey through life and through Martial Arts studies including encounters with countless fellow practitioners, students, and instructors over 40+ years of "hitting the mats".
"The Grasshopper Method emerged as a combination of all the knowledge passed onto me or as a result of my passionate exploration of movement principles applied within the context of my real day to day life. It is - as the saying goes - my way of life and living, and at its core an exploratory approach to learning and development."
Please join us on a journey of curiosity and exploration of Martial Arts. We offer a Family-friendly exploratory Martial Arts Program for all ages and all skills and a FREE ONLINE COMMUNITY away from marketing, ads, and all that digital pollution.
KineOasis is an exploratory and creative merger of husband and wife team Catrina Choate-Heretoiu and Bogdan Heretoiu - movement educators dedicated to the exploration of Human Expression through Movement.
We LOVE to provide and nurture a GREAT Learning Environment. If you have a curious mind and wish to train hard and enhance your life through movement, then we will welcome you with open arms and decades of combined accumulated know-how ready to be passed onto you!
We offer PRIVATE & GROUP TRAINING in BALLET, MARTIAL ARTS STUDIES, and FELDENKRAIS. Our Classes & Programs are available for ALL ages - from Kids to Seniors - and we offer PARENTING Workshops on Movement Applications for Child Development, Personal Connection, and Personal Wellness.
Our select range of movement modalities enrich everyone's experience of Movement. Our approach is highly detailed yet nurturing and accommodating to everyone's skill and age - from younger kids to adults of all ages.

We Believe in Less Marketing and More MENTORSHIP.
Whether in Ballet, Feldenkrais, or Martial Arts, during our online clinic sessions we focus on fine-tuning individual skills through nurturing each student's journey of learning and personal growth.
Sessions consist of essential feedback and analysis, strategy for further improvement, and overall support.
