About BodyChromatics
In essence, we use movement to help improve your quality of life. We choose to do it through Gyrotonic exercises because of its effectiveness - both immediately after class, and longer-term for holistic health. A session usually starts with gentle spinal movements followed by legwork. Exercises are done under the guidance of the teacher, as well as with the help of the Gyrotonic machine. The machine is fully adjustable for height, strength and ability, making it both safe and possible for even the most inflexible person to stretch out and workout. Each client's goals are discussed right from the start, because Jireh tailors every exercise to her client's specific needs. To learn more, please visit BodyChromatics.com.
About Jireh:
Miss Jireh Li is a Certified GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Instructor and taught extensively in New York before moving her practice to Beijing. She has completed all Core Certifications with the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® International Headquarters. She trained extensively with internationally renowned Authorized Masters Trainers Sebastian Plettenberg (GYROTONIC® Manhattan) and Erika Hassan in New York, Miami and Tokyo, as well as completed trainings in Hong Kong and Jakarta.
A Hong Kong native, she discovered Gyrotonic while working as an investment banker. Struggling with headaches, back and shoulder pains at the computer all the time, she practised Gyrotonic twice a week. When it only took 3 months to undo the pain and spinal damage (scoliosis) she lived with for 20 years, she realized that Gyrotonic’s holistic approach to health was very different from other exercises she tried, and found it a very effective and efficient method to rebalance, keep fit and stay strong in an enjoyable and effortless way.
