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
I consider this a must-attend course for both teachers and yoga practitioners for its methodology and for the combination of theory and practice that enriches it and gives it the necessary context for proper learning.I invite all yoga practitioners to take this course and learn all that Gustavo has accumulated and experienced over the years.
Julio Auad (Chile)
With Gustavo Ponce (Chile, 2022)
Prior to incorporating GPBALANCE, I already had measurable changes in my body due to hereditary early menopause, such as weight gain, high TSH and very low estrogen levels. It was amazing to see that after two or three months of daily practice my body was back in balance, I was back to my normal weight, completely normal TSH and even more amazing estrogen levels as with conventional treatment, which continues to this day after almost 4 years of practice. Of course, the key is consistency and knowing what each part of the method is for allows your mind and body to align with a clear intention to activate your entire endocrine system. After completing my first 50 hours of training, I have nothing but words of gratitude to Gustavo for all his generosity in sharing so much wisdom and for his exhaustive research of the scientific theory that supports each part of this method.

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.

Thank you again for this initiation that has filled us with joy, and for your kindness towards us Frédérique. After feeling like an illiterate entering the French Academy when we introduced ourselves, we quickly forgot the gap that separated us from the other trainees and this thanks to you and Fanny.
