 A few photos of Bowers onstage at Lincoln Center pepper the shelves of the Ballet Beautiful studio, nestled alongside beat-up toe shoes, a stray can of Elnet and a few glass jars holding fresh flowers. One gets the feeling that for her, like many who choose careers with a very defined physical requirement and inevitable sell-by date, ballet wasn’t always beautiful.

“There’s no feeling like performing. It’s magical, it’s so rewarding, and it just feeds this special little part of your soul,” Bowers says with a smile. “But the lifestyle is so crazy and demanding. It’s all-consuming. It’s every part of your life, every single day. And for me, it was like a scale, where I felt like I always took out a lot more than I put in, and when that scale started to tip a little, to where I was putting in way, way more than I was taking out? That’s when it was time to leave.”

Bowers left the troupe for Columbia University as an undergrad at 26, where she went from being perpetually physically active to full-time student. Her weight and body, she says, completely changed. When she wanted to get back into shape, she eschewed the gym in favor of the aerobic exercises she’d developed years previous, after a dance injury: “45 minutes a day in my apartment, and I was shocked by the results.”

Her friends were as well, and began asking her for help training to achieve the lean, toned physique of a dancer. Ballet Beautiful was born.

For all her talk of “feeling pretty and looking beautiful,” Bowers’ program is not for sissies. Ballet is famous for the appearance of effortlessness in the face of tremendously wrenching strain, and Bowers is the trainer, after all, who whipped Natalie Portman into “prima” shape for her role in 2010’s “Black Swan.” The actress wrote the foreword for “Ballet Beautiful,” noting that, after working with Bowers, her “arms and legs completely changed shape. My posture looked, as my dad said, like I had swallowed a broom.” After the high-profile transformation of Portman’s physique, Ballet Beautiful took flight, and now counts other notable clients like Karen Elson, Sarah Sophie Flicker, Rachel Antonoff, Liv Tyler and Zooey Deschanel, most of whom contributed rapturous quotes to the book jacket and DVD covers.

The book is the latest development of Bowers’ multipronged approach. Her studio allows for group and private instruction, and there is a growing series of DVDs, online classes and streaming videos available. Bowers is workshopping a line of specialized ballet slippers for the company and is considering creating a line of dancewear, though the design she is most proud of to date is her Web site, balletbeautiful.Com. The online studio enables clients to have training sessions via Skype from wherever there’s WiFi.
