Erika Richardson – Gyrotonic Instructor

First and foremost Erika has a wonderful presence. She clearly understands the Gyrotonic system and she listened to me before jumping into our session which I appreciated. As a health and wellness professional, I have had numerous Gyrotonic sessions over the years from talented instructors. What I think set my experience with Erika apart from my previous experiences with Gyrotonic was the pace of her instruction. She patiently had me move through spinal articulations to enhance my body awareness before we began using the resistance equipment. This allowed me to stay connected throughout the challenging exercises. We progressed rapidly through different movements and finished with some lying long-​lever circumductions I had never seen before, which I loved! I signed up for two follow up sessions. An absolutely great experience in a comfortable setting with a caring professional. Highly recommended.

Erika’s devotion to the Gyrotonic exercise method is definitely something she radiates when she teaches. Her attention to detail, calm presence and years of study through other teachers and learning what her own body has to teach her makes her a wonderful, accomplished teacher. I owned a Pilates & Gyrotonic studio in San Anselmo for 7 years and Erika would often sub for me. All my clients loved her and only had positive things to say about her. I highly recommend her! :-)
