“Anouk is an inspiration. She is resourceful, imaginative and very patient. At the beginning, I did not know how to breath deeply let alone perform the complex coordination of Gyrotonic movements, so she started from the basics. With her constant encouragement, meticulous attention to detail and perseverance, I soon made considerable progress. Now my body is much stronger, better aligned and more flexible. Every Gyrotonic class gives me so much energy and vitality.” – S. Bobeva (European Commission, journalist, media expert) 

“I always go away from my class with Anouk with a sense of freedom in my body and as a result also feel it in my every day life. Anouk is careful and precise in every correction. She is very clear in her explanations, demonstration of movements and makes me work thoroughly. She perfectly combines professionalism, gentleness and skill. Her Gyrotonic classes are a pleasure! “- M. Arnoux (EU Commission, translator)

“Anouk is a very inspiring, thoughtful and supportive trainer, whose passion for the body and movement in its most minute details, supports my constant progress.” – S. Bleiburg (Psychologist)

“Je sors toujours de mon cours avec Anouk avec une sensation de liberté dans mon corps, liée au travail que je fais avec elle et dont je perçois les résultats au quotidien. Anouk est très attentive et très précise dans les moindres corrections, très claire dans ses explications et la démonstration  des mouvements, et me fait travailler à fond.  Elle allie à merveille professionnalisme, douceur et compétence.  Ses cours de Gyrotonic sont un vrai plaisir!”  – M. Arnoux (Interprète) 

MY DISCOVERY

I was first introduced to the method in 2004. Over the course of my career I suffered numerous injuries. Thanks to a recommendation from a physiotherapist in 2007, I started training regularly and have been totally devoted ever since!

I clearly remember my first classes. The results were immediate pain relief, increased mobility, a feeling of inner harmony and balance. The sequences of movement were dynamic, like nothing I’d experienced before. Exercises were connected together in a continuous flow, focusing on breath and rhythm, like a movement meditation. After exercising my body felt elongated, upright, while at the same time more connected and grounded.

In 2012, I was diagnosed with a hernia in my lumbar spine, and again with diligent training, I recovered fully without surgery. At that point I went further into my healing process, working more consciously on a physical and energetic level. I began to adopt a more balanced approach to movement and to life itself. In 2013, I became a certified Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis instructor.

Now with more than ten years experience, my overall strength, condition, range of motion, and body awareness has developed tremendously. I’m able to do all the activities I love such as dancing, surfing, and running, supported by a system that helps me stay connected and prevents injury. I’m equally passionate about sharing my in-depth knowledge with my clients to help them reach their fullest potential and thrive.
