What is GPBALANCE?
The method
GPBALANCE invites us to connect to our body, to our breath, to the present moment. The postures, breathing and inner massages stimulate the endocrine glands for a harmonious and proactive health. Women and men from all walks of life: this practice is for you.
The founder
A pioneer in the teaching of yoga in Latin America, Gustavo Ponce is a former Chilean Ambassador to Japan, international businessman, writer and columnist in yoga magazines in several countries. He is the founder of the GPBALANCE method.
Testimonials
As I believe nothing happens by chance, GPBALANCE was exactly what I needed. A lot of broken paradigms, a practice partly very different from the one I have been practicing for years, which is based on Iyengar Yoga, but a practice that energizes me and strengthens my body a lot, I feel really good.
Mariana Akamine Bergamasco (Brazil)
With Gustavo Ponce (Brazil, 2021)
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.

With Fanny Lehideux + Frédérique Verdeau + Gustavo Ponce (France, 2022)
If I had to translate GPBALANCE into one word, it would be "health". Despite the fact that I have recently started my first 50 hours of training, I can already perceive the wealth of information it contains, I think that everything I have seen so far leads on the right path to improve our physical, mental and emotional well-being. And I must emphasize that one of the things that has attracted my attention the most and that is still present, is that I am more and more aware of the importance of the breath, its power and its important impact on our body.
Caro Loberade (Chile)
With Gustavo Ponce (Chile, 2022)
I am a middle-aged, clumsy and inflexible woman who never dreamed of ever being attracted to yoga, despite a strong intellectual understanding of its benefits. Frederique's expertise is evident from the first contact. She brings a lot of technical knowledge to her profession and generously shares her insights and experience in a way that is very accessible and helpful. Her kindness and empathy take her teaching to a new level of benefit, especially for awkward souls like me. Yoga GP Balance has changed my life . It is the best form of self-care I have found. Many thanks.
