The Studio

Barbara, retired Healthcare Executive,  She has practiced GYROTONIC® and Gyrokinesis® methods for 9 years before deciding to become a trainer and share her life changing experience.  In popular culture she is classified as "elderly".  As result of her practice, she has greater core strength, flexibility, and stamina than she had in her 30's. While she has experience teaching  clients from 20's to 70's, her passion is teaching the GYROTONIC® method  as a component of a healthy  aging regime. She is also dedicated to raising awareness of the existence of the GYROTONIC® method and how it provides  benefits  unlike any other form of exercise.

Sarah is a licensed  GYROTONIC®  trainer who has been practicing the GYROTONIC ®  and Gyrokinesis®  methods for 9 years. She combines her GYROTONIC® training with her 45 years of experience teaching movement and the mind/body connection as a university theatre arts professor.

She works with a wide range of clients but has a special interest in performers, musicians, actors and attorneys who wish to enhance their physical presence.

Shelburne has been practicing the  GYROTONIC® method for 11 years. She began her practice with Miriam Barbosa after years of medical treatment and surgeries related to hip injury.
