Teacher Training - Pre-Training
The first step in the teaching journey for both the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods is the Pre-Training course.
There are four levels of training required to become a certified instructor, and Pre-Training lays the essential foundation for this path. At Body in Harmony, this important first step is taught with a strong focus on developing movement awareness, embodiment, and clarity within your own body — supporting both your personal practice and your potential future as a teacher.
Personal Enrichment
Not interested in becoming a teacher, but curious to explore these methods more deeply? Pre-Training may also be taken for personal enrichment, offering a meaningful complement to private sessions or as an opportunity to immerse yourself in the work on a deeper level.
There is no obligation to continue in the teacher training progression — this course may be taken simply for personal growth and exploration.
Whether taken as the first step toward teaching or as a personal deepening of practice, Pre-Training offers a powerful opportunity to connect more fully with your body and movement.
Gyrotonic Training
Pre-Training is not about learning how to teach — it is about learning how to move, listen, and organize yourself from the inside out. This six-day, 30-hour GYROTONIC® Pre-Training course is the first step on the path toward becoming a certified Gyrotonic Instructor, while also standing on its own as a meaningful personal exploration.
The course focuses on developing movement intelligence through the unique feedback of the Gyrotonic machines. Rather than memorizing sequences, the emphasis is on sensing rhythm, breath, and coordination, allowing the equipment to inform and deepen the experience. The machines support a three-dimensional, continuous quality of movement that encourages awareness, adaptability, and efficiency within the body.
This process prepares students physically for the Gyrotonic Level 1 Foundation Course, a twelve-day training that must be completed within three months following Pre-Training. More importantly, it establishes a grounded relationship to the method — supporting both future teachers and dedicated practitioners in refining perception, organization, and ease in movement.

Gyrokinesis Training
GYROKINESIS® Pre-Training is the first step toward becoming a certified Gyrokinesis Instructor and also stands as a rich, self-contained exploration of movement. This six-day, 30-hour course introduces the foundational principles of the Gyrokinesis method through floor-based and seated sequences that emphasize continuity, rhythm, and breath.
The focus of the course is internal organization and embodied understanding. Without the use of equipment, students learn to sense movement initiation, timing, and energetic flow from within. The practice encourages curiosity, adaptability, and a deeper listening to the body, allowing each movement to be experienced as part of an integrated whole rather than a series of shapes.
This course prepares students physically and perceptually for the Gyrokinesis Foundation Course, a nine-day training to be completed within three months following Pre-Training. Whether taken as the beginning of a teaching pathway or for personal enrichment, Gyrokinesis Pre-Training offers a profound opportunity to refine awareness, coordination, and the expressive quality of movement.
