To Live In Your Body
Customized Program
Every program is completely customized to start where you are and to move you in the direction of where you want to be whether it is more agility, more strength, or a more pain-free body.
Your body in sync
The body is designed to work as one harmonious system, to follow arching and spiraling paths of motion and to transition from one movement to the next smoothly and efficiently.
Functional Strength
Opening energy pathways and stimulating the nervous system while increasing range of motion and creating functional strength prepares for even more complex movements.

What My Clients Say
How The Gyrotonic Expansion System has changed lives
Jill has been a gift for me. She uses her mastery of Gyrotonic and adapts the exercises to what my body needs at the time. She has worked patiently with me over the last 4.5 years to strengthen my body, to shift a recurring lower back issue, and to get me fully into my body while patiently advancing me to the intermediate level.
She is always accepting and allowing without judgment, while at the same time she keeps me moving forward and on track. Her hands on touch in sessions is wise and purposeful, and it provides gentle guidance that has enhanced my training. She has a gift for teaching, and her love and knowledge of Gyrotonic is truly inspiring and encourages me to keep going.
And she is one of my favorite humans!
In seventh grade, I had a bike accident that left me paralyzed on one side. Against all odds, I did relearn to walk - but dancing was beyond what I could do. Through Gyrotonic I was able to rebuild the brain-body nerve passageways that were broken in that long-ago accident. It was quite a surprise to me to be at a weekend music festival last month and discover that suddenly I could dance! Really! This is the power of Jill and her Gyrotonic studio. Friends who have known me for years are saying - you are moving differently! What are you doing?
As a person, Jill is wonderful and even though she’s heavily booked, it's worth the wait to get in to see her. It's the best thing I've done for self-care in my life. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She's exceptional and a very special part of Santa Barbara! Read full review.
I had previously had stem cell injections to help with SI joint instability, but because my pelvis was not level, I continued to have pain and periodic crippling flare ups. I have worked with physical therapists for years — good ones! Therapists who laid the groundwork for what I could become, but my exercise routines did not create the hip stability I needed.
Jill suggested that we focus on strengthening my back body. Now, with the movement that’s an intrinsic part of Gyrotonic, I have become pain free. My therapists are stunned by my progress. And I am over the moon with delight and appreciation. Thank you, Jill.
