What clients and trainers have to say about our teaching

“I have benefited immensely from learning the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Methods and specialized equipment courses with Jane. Her passion, sincerity and deep knowledge of the body are assets that set her apart and make her an excellent Master Trainer.

Each time I am in the studio with Jane, I learn something new and valuable to me personally, including a variety of ways I can better support my clients and help them to better understand the principles of the Gyrotonic Expansion System.

I am so grateful to be taught by Jane since she has helped me transform the way I move and breathe, which has greatly improved my life. Thank you Jane for all your help and care! ”

“Jane Gotch has changed my understanding and integration of the Gyrotonic method. She has helped me truly experience the movements for myself. She is brilliant at helping all bodies — with our limitations and strengths — feel the healing, joyful movements for ourselves. She is generous in her attention to each person in her trainings, while being spacious in allowing each of us to “get it where we get it”. In other words, she is respectful of differing levels of experience and movement, but she finds a way to challenge each of us. She is inclusive and compassionate, while maintaining clear boundaries so that everyone can fully benefit from each training. With Jane’s instruction, I am able to continue to deeply enjoy and appreciate the myriad applications of the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methodologies in my own body — which in turn makes me a better teacher, approaching each of my students with renewed curiosity and creativity. As a studio owner, hosting Jane’s trainings has always been seamless affair. She truly understands what it means to run and own studio, helping promote and track signups. She is a low-maintenance guest, while she offers the highest quality education. Hosting Jane Gotch is a win win win situation. I highly recommend Jane as among the best Gyrotonic master trainers I’ve experienced in this community, of which I’ve been a part for more than 15 years. Thank you, Jane!”

“Jane is an incredible trainer. I have taken two courses with her. Not only is the depth of her knowledge of the material extensive, but she also teaches directly and intuitively. As a student I trust my body with her. Her knowledge of how the body works, injuries, and quirks make the material accessible to everybody. If something is uncomfortable, she gives alternatives that feel safe. She demonstrates very clearly and with care for detail and intention. Her hands-on cues are clear and direct. She breaks down the material in a detail-oriented way down to the mindset of each exercise, the sense of play, and the breath. She has become a resource for me as a new trainer, and I will seek out her courses for my future training.”

“The Missoula community enjoys Jane’s openness, professionalism and joy for the Gyrotonic work every time she visits!

I appreciate the clarity with which she introduces new exercises. Jane is articulate with her body and her words. She is genuinely interested is how to guide each student towards success as it relates to their personal gyrotonic journey; meaning she truly meets each person’s abilities with support and knowledgeable, progressive coaching. Jane truly loves the Gyrotonic work and passing it along to people of all personalities and abilities.

Jane balances depth and hard work, with fun and support. ”

“Jane is an incredible teacher, balancing dedication to her subject matter with a deep care for her students’ understanding and growth. Her ability to foster discipline while also encouraging curiosity speaks volumes about her teaching style. It’s admirable how she knows when to push boundaries and when to respect the limits of her students’ capacity to absorb information.”

“I just skied for the first time in 15 years. This is thanks to you in no small part. Not so many years ago I don’t think it would have been possible. You and the Gyrotonic method have given me the spinal flexibility and body alignment that I had let slip away, along with the injuries. and the resulting discomfort.
I use the knowledge and awareness gained from you daily; moving, working and stretching. Now a couple more runs here and then on to Colorado.”

“Discovering the Gyrotonic method and working with Jane, in particular, has changed my life. This form of movement has rehabilitated me from lingering issues due to injury and continues improve my alignment, strength and fitness level. The lower back problems that plagued me for decades are no longer a factor. I feel younger, more vibrant and am convinced that this activity has improved my metabolism. I highly recommend Gyrotonic exercise and Jane Gotch as a great combination to any fitness program.”

“As a professional ballet dancer, I need a trainer who is not only knowledgeable, but someone who can help me translate the work in Gyrotonic to the work I do in the ballet studio. Jane is able to do exactly that. In addition to her knowledge and experience within the field, Jane has been nothing but kind and compassionate. She has continued to show a sense of eagerness to help me with whatever challenge or goal I present her. Jane has also helped guide me and taken me under her wing as I prepare for the Gyrotonic Level 1 Certification process.”

“A lifetime of sports (including professional baseball) left this 58 year old very inflexible. My goal was to regain some of that flexibility, especially in the lower back, so that I could resume a more active tennis and golf schedule. Prior to working with Jane, most days of activity were followed by days of discomfort. I’ve trained with Jane once a week for 9 months now and have played tennis and golf on back-to-back days. Technically, both swings are more effective due to improved flexibility. Jane’s understanding of movement and spine health along with her teaching skills has had a profound effect for me.”

“I walked into Jane’s Studio 12 years ago and was completely captivated by watching a new instructor, Jane Gotch, working on a piece of equipment called the Gyrotonic Pulley Tower. I immediately started with her, and I am still enjoying her innovative and evolving instruction. As I grow older, she keeps me supple and energized.
