GYROTONIC®️ COMPLETE EDUCATION PROCESS, AND BEYOND
WHY THE GYROTONIC® LEVEL 1 TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM?
Experience an in-depth exploration of GYROTONIC® principles, and Level 1 movement sequences under the direction of a skilled GYROTONIC® Master Trainer.
Learn to professionally teach the GYROTONIC® Level 1 exercise sequences on the GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower.
GYROTONIC® level 1 Trainers have access to specialized GYROTONIC® teacher training courses, including specialized equipment courses.
In this program students learn to design and teach a progressive sequence of GYROTONIC® Level 1 exercise classes on the GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Combination Unit. The GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the result of over thirty years of research and development, and is the most widely used piece of GYROTONIC® Equipment.
The 188 hour program is composed of four sequential courses. Students typically begin teaching the GYROTONIC® Method in the role of apprentice within 3 months after beginning the program. It takes approximately 1 year to complete the full program and to become a fully qualified GYROTONIC® Trainer.
GYROTONIC® Trainers are eligible to register for GYROTONIC® specialized courses and GYROTONIC® specialized equipment courses.
GYROTONIC® Trainers attend at least one continuing education course every two years in order to expand their skill set and maintain their certification and trademark license.
We run one full annual cycle of the teacher training process, with pretrainings available in Millbrook/Kingston/Saugerties/Mamaroneck and Niskayuna NY. The pretrainings are small on purpose, to allow for questions and repetition-usually run in winter/spring. Foundations are in summer over 4/3 day weekends in Millbrook, apprentice review in Fall in Millbrook leading to certification Elements Fitness & Wellness Center in Washington DC at the years end.
THE PROCESS…BEGINS WITH THE PRETRAINING COURSE
ABOUT MARY/LICENSED PRETRAINER:
I became involved with Pilates while attending SUNY New Paltz as an undergraduate. soon after completing my degree, I began an apprenticeship program under Petie Russo’s tutelage. It was during this period of focused study, observation, and supervised teaching that I discovered the subtle beauty of Pilates.
To stay connected to the discipline and as part of my apprenticeship, I worked with Pilates Instructor and fitness “guru”, Steve Giordano, focusing on the anatomy of movement. Pilates is the connection between mind and body manifested through physical movement; my training with Giordano focused on the anatomical part of that relationship.
My exposure to GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® came first as a client, followed by completing the initial certification program in 2015. I spent the previous year as an apprentice, devoted to learning the intricacies and real heart of this movement system. GYROTONIC® casts a net that allows the practitioner to draw on an array of movement systems – like yoga, ballet, swimming, – while still connecting back to its core principles. I am continually excited and surprised by the GYROTONIC® Method and am committed to understanding and expressing its layered and intelligent beauty in my teaching and practice-licensed in levels 1&2.
Through continuing education, I have worked with amazing movement specialists, including Bob Liekens, a Pilates Master Trainer, Jackson Kellogg, Erika Hassan, Angela Crowley and Cori Doetzer mainly as my GYROTONIC®Master Trainers. Their influence and vast reservoir of knowledge has fundamentally changed how I understand movement, as well as the instruction of others in movement. My certifications include Archway 1&2, Jump Stretch, Leg Extension unit, and this Winter will include both Gyrotoner programs.
I currently reside in the Hudson Valley and teach at Physique in Kingston and my home studio in Saugerties. I am always intently focused on understanding movement and its relationship with our anatomy, while drawing inspiration from what I encounter in my daily life and other physical disciplines.
I have been instructing since 2009 and have worked with people of all levels – including pre-teen athletes, post-surgery recoverers, and expectant mothers
I look forward to helping you strengthen and understand your body!
