Testimonials
The GPBALANCE Hormonal Yoga workshop led by Gustavo Ponce is simply spectacular, extraordinarily clear and enjoyable. For me, it meant discovering and understanding the importance of the pelvic floor and why a physical problem might occur in the future. I discovered exercises that will give me security in the future both in the sexual aspect and in the prevention of certain dysfunctions that fortunately I do not have yet.

With Fanny Lehideux + Frédérique Verdeau (France, 2022)
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.

Participating in your workshop was a unique, complete and enriching experience. I definitely plan to take your training course next year, if you come to Brazil. In addition to the experience of your method, you are, as a teacher, friendly, calm, super didactic, generous, studious and so on... Congratulations ! Gratitude to the Universe for knowing you personally, and for having experienced this wonderful method, GPBALANCE.
