Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner
I have resonated deeply with movement from a young age. Studying dance as a child, I experienced an incredible sense of relaxation and clarity through it. It revealed a way for me to connect to both my inner and outer worlds, as well as to an energetic source. Gyrotonic® came into my life after a high school knee injury. A beloved dance teacher of mine recommended it… my knee healed… and Gyrotonic® disappeared. Gyrotonic® began to emerge again after I graduated from college, with a BA in dance from the University of New Mexico. I completed the training’s for Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® in 2003, and shortly after that became a certified instructor. I have taken part in specialized courses and workshops, such as pre-natal, level 2 training, Gyrotonic as a musical journey and an intensive breathing course. Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® play a huge role in my life. I enjoy the quiet, spaciousness, fluidity it creates in mind, body and spirit.
