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
This practice overwhelmed me by the sensations it provides, a particular state oscillating between power and calm. It is so complete and so different from other practices, that it is worth discovering, teaching and practicing.

I left feeling rested, energized, sleeping better, I feel like I got that vital energy back that my acupuncturist told me I was low on, even doing the same things, I am another Woman ! ! ! I really want to continue the practice, even to evaluate if I can avoid medication for now (I am in the climacteric phase, on my way to menopause and my thyroid has been inflamed for the past 2 years). I am interested in continuing my studies and I continue to practice. Grateful. I hope to see you again soon.
Valquiria Urbano (Brazil)
With Gustavo Ponce (Brazil, 2021)
Since discovering the GPBALANCE method, my interest in yoga has grown considerably as I have seen the changes it has produced in my daily life. As part of my training, I recently had the opportunity to teach a GPBALANCE class to a group of 8 students I didn't know. I took the challenge seriously, I prepared the course beforehand and the feeling of being in front of a group of students that I could help, advise and share the GPBALANCE method with, was so great that it allowed me to visualize the possibility of continuing to teach the method to more people.

GPBALANCE yoga has had impressive effects on me, I still have hot flashes but they are much lighter, they don't prevent me from sleeping at night anymore, I practice every day or so.
