I am a certified GYROTONIC® Master Trainer here in Sydney and have been working closely with Juliu since 2000. If any one is interested in teacher training we have two Teacher trainers here in Australia. Dana Rader in Melbourne and myself in Sydney. The next teacher training will be over 4 consecutive weekends Feb/March2010. Suitable for people unable to take a huge chunk of time out of their regular schedule. Just recently I was in Japan with Juliu where he was teaching a breathing workshop. The man is a genius. I agree with you Deborah the teacher training does make for a better all round movement teacher. Lisa Mathison-Wood lisamathison@yahoo.com Hello Deborah,

I agree about the body awareness, although I do start from the beginning with most clients. I think it is because of the rocking of the pelvis and the balancing of the arch/curl. I do enjoy the contrast it gives to my Pilates practice. Dominique,

I trained in Pilates in 2001 and then in GYROTONIC (R) in 2006. I loved your article Deborah, and it is always fantastic to hear how other teachers find the differences between the 2 disciplines. For my clients, initially I feel they enjoy the work more if they have had some 'body awareness' or 'movement' experience prior to their first sessions - with say dance, yoga or even some sports. If they have been a Pilates client first and then 'tried' this GYRO thing, they also love the deviation from the 'linear' work that can dominate in Pilates. For me, and my body, I loved the GYROTONIC (R) work as soon as I got on the machine and felt that this was what my body had craved for a long time. I also felt it furthered my strength - core and global - so that I could then return to Pilates and embrace the more advanced repertoire of the classical work. As a teacher, it has given me more scope to help my clients achieve their goals. As we all know, every client is a completely different case and having the 2 forms of exercise to chose from allows the teacher much more freedom. And GYROTONIC (R) has definitely lifted my bum! :) Hi all, I trained in GYROTONIC (R) here in Sydney, Australia. I trained in Pilates in 2001 and then in GYROTONIC (R) in 2006.

I made a brief post on the Anatomy Trains forum, if anyone would like to read that as well. http://www.anatomytrains.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=46 Deborah, I liked hearing about your personal insights on how clients respond and your relation to it as a teacher of it.

We are very interested but a visit to the US is a stretch for some of us. Thank you. Does anyone know who provides certification in Australia?
