Testimonials
Presence and calmness, that's how I could describe in a nutshell what I managed to feel after 1 year of GPBALANCE practice. The tools I assimilated from GPBALANCE helped me to better understand my mind and my body and, in moments of "crisis", thanks to this presence and calmness, I manage to apply them to balance myself.

With Gustavo Ponce (Chile, 2022)
I had the chance to take two hormonal yoga teacher trainings thanks to Frédérique Verdeau. The first, hosted by Dinah Rodrigues, was the start of my journey into hormonal wellness and yoga. This is why I did not hesitate for a second when Frédérique told me about the GPBALANCE training. Led by Gustavo Ponce, I was enthusiastic about this training. Gustavo is very pedagogical, he shares with great generosity all his knowledge learned from the greatest yogis masters and put at the service of hormonal balance. I experienced this training as a great homecoming. I came back to my breathing, to my body with a more developed consciousness. The exercises are varied, both accessible and demanding. A return to balance that accompanies me in my daily practice and that I look forward to sharing with my students.

I sincerely thank you Frédérique for having made us discover Gustavo's technique. Personally, it does me a lot of good considering my problems with vertigo, vestibular migraines and tinnitus. As much as I could not see myself teaching another hormonal yoga technique, I am impatient to be able to teach GP Balance because I am convinced of its effectiveness.
