What is GPBALANCE?

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
Since I discovered this method, I felt that I was in front of a complete and compact system of knowledge, a summary of a lifetime of research, learning, study and practice. That captivated me.
Luis Felipe Martinoia (Chile)
With Gustavo Ponce (Chile, 2021)
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.
