Doing Gyrotonic exercises sessions with Kyung-Sun has been strengthening, energizing, inspiring and fun! Gyrotonic exercise adds a fluidity to my physical body that translates into my life. I immediately felt the satisfaction of moving my spine, joints, muscles in circular patterns and finding the energy connections. The machines are amazing, offering an endless variety of options for moving and stretching my body; each workout session is different than the previous one.

I appreciate the flexibility and strength I have gained. The quality of Kyung-Sun's instruction is superb, and the atmosphere in the studio is warm and peaceful. I’m a very satisfied client.

I have noticed a great deal of difference in how I move and I feel my strength and flexibility are increasing. My alignment is getting better each week and I find that Gyrotonics is a great antidote for the effects of gravity and aging as it is making my spine and joints more flexible!

I love the grace and evolving nature of Gyrotonics—how no two classes are the same. This is an exercise that I want to keep up for as long as I can. I believe that the sessions are great for my both my body and my mind. They are fun, interesting and challenging in the best possible way.

The one-on-one classes are fantastic because I know I’m doing each exercise precisely and correctly. Kyung-sun is an amazing teacher and I totally trust that she will push me, but not too far or too fast, so I will avoid injury, yet maximize the time and effort I put in.

I am completely delighted with the sessions—I can’t think of a thing I'd improve. Kyung-sun is a gifted teacher who makes each session interesting, productive and fun. I look forward to each one and feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have found Kyung-sun and Gyrotonic.

Kyung-sun Baek is incredibly knowledgable and has the rare ability of completely understanding the human body and the way that you move individually. She finds your greatest weaknesses and helps you work through them as well as helping you understand how to fix them yourself in the future. I am so excited to continue working with her and hope that it will bring greater movement to my everyday activities as well as my movement in ballet.

I have more flexibility, less pain, and improved my posture.

I first met Kyung-sun at an informational Gyrotonics session at a local hair salon and day spa. After the session, I described my issues to her - recurring pain from a spinal injury that was limiting my ability to move, sit or stand comfortably - and she told me she thought she could help me.

In April 2019, I began seeing Kyung-sun for a group chair exercise series focusing on arching and curling movements. Those sessions led to twice weekly private Gyrotonics sessions. Since starting, I've noticed greater flexibility and less pain in my daily activities, especially when using my laptop and during yoga. I'm definitely more aware of my posture now, even when I'm busy with my gardening projects.

The Gyrotonics exercises are customized to straighten my spine, gain flexibility, and improve my posture. Under Kyung-sun's guidance and with the added benefit of the massage therapist focusing on the areas we work on, I've made significant progress. I also value understanding a bit of the science and anatomy behind the exercises. I'm excited to continue working with her.

Kyung-Sun is an extraordinary and gifted teacher. In my nearly four years of practice with her, my flexibility - not to mention my joy in movement - have opened a whole new world for me. She is insightful, always positive, fully present and attuned.

Astoundingly, even during our sessions via Zoom - necessitated by the pandemic - she could spot a stiff shoulder or hamstring, then suggesting a certain subtle tweak in my position. "How can you tell!? I'd exclaim.

Kyung-Sun gently offers keen insights that have helped to increase my flexibility and joy in movement, whether in the garden or tumbling with my grandchildren.

I highly recommend this gifted teacher: she's a highly skilled body worker and a wonderful encouraging guide.

Kyung Sun is an incredible gyrotonics teacher! I am a professional ballet dancer who came to her for help dealing with back and shoulder injuries. As a former professional dancer herself, she has a deeply nuanced sense of how the body moves. She has helped me regain strength and mobility and within four sessions I was pain-free in my daily activities outside of dance!

In addition to building strength and mobility she also trains correct muscle firing patterns, develops both slow twitch and quick twitch muscle response (by changing the rhythm of the same exercise after several repetitions), and integrates the breath with hands-on feedback. Gyrotonics creates pelvic and spinal stability in a much subtler, more comprehensive way than anything you can do at the gym. The eccentric (as opposed to concentric) approach of many of the excises develops long, lean muscle with a wide range of motion.

Everyone can benefit from Kyung Sun's expertise, from those struggling with daily tasks to lifelong athletes!

Having the right trainer can make all the difference. I've been practicing Gyrotonics for six years, and three of them with Kyung-sun. My first experiences were with a “Hollywood” trainer in Los Angeles, whose focus was on going through the movements and equipment but not on the deeper connections between anatomy, form, and flow. Only later, as I found a different studio that focused on the mind-body connection, was I actually able to start reaping the real benefits.

Having gotten the Gyro bug and planning my move to Maine, I came looking for the right Gyro trainer and found exactly what I was looking for in Kyung-sun. She’s a highly qualified trainer with heart. She’s both results-focused and patiently encouraging. She has the experience to see what you need, and what you can handle at that moment in time.

If you’re just starting with Gyro, it can seem complicated. And, as I’ve now inspired multiple family members to start working with her as well, I have seen how Kyung-sun teaches a complete beginner - with patience and incremental gains. I only wish I had started with her! Now, as a someone who has practiced for some time, my routine with Kyung-sun is about opening new frontiers and new challenges but also maintaining what got me into it in the first place - keeping it fun and fluid!

I am very pleased with the attention to my fitness goals and progress that Kyung-sun has shown throughout the past 8 months. She quietly and appropriately advances the challenge of my Gyrotonic exercises—I can feel the continual increase in difficulty, though no session seems much more difficult than the previous one! Her personal style is so relaxed and supportive that it is easy—and a pleasure—to follow her instructions and example exercises.
I have noticed that I am much more mindful about my posture and that my Gyrotonic work with Kyung-sun has made me feel more flexible and strong at the gym and in Pilates. My everyday posture is much better too! I very much appreciate Kyung-sun and her approach to Gyrotonics, and look forward to every session!

Kyung-sun has been a huge asset and benefit to my life. Her gentle guidance and intuitive insight, has guided me from a place of chronic pain that was discouraging, and sometimes seemed inevitable and hopeless, to a place where I actually enjoy the challenging but rewarding work of improving my physical condition.

I’m getting better, more aligned, and have learned set of life-long coping skills to work well with my own body as idiosyncrasies rather than flaws. I’ve finally come to a place where I largely understand my physical challenges, and how to effectively work at reversing those muscles restrictions that have been so painful for so long.

I've been around long enough to try many approaches to alleviate pain and work on my physical alignment goals. However, no one and nothing has come close to matching Kyung-sun's combination of gentleness and effectiveness with Gyrotonics. She's not just highly skilled and well-trained in her craft but also uniquely attuned to your individual musculoskeletal makeup.

For me, Kyung-sun is a beacon of hope in my life, enabling me to step into the next decade with a renewed sense of confidence.

I’ve been working with Kyung-sun for six months, and look forward to every time. She carefully watches my movements, correcting them with tact and good humor. Every session is a joy.

Kyung-sun's detailed approach finds my hidden and unused muscles and put them to work! The result is that my movement is much more integrated, flexible and pain-free. Working with her is also making me taller! She is unfailingly attentive, clear in her explanations and changes the exercises as I progress. I am learning more and more about how my body works and, through her wise guidance, am fixing ingrained but unproductive ways of moving. In addition, I am much stronger.

I came to Kyung-sun and to Gyrotonic exercise out of shape and with a stiff back, weak hamstrings and an impending week long bike trip. Kyung-sun evaluated the order of what to work on in order to meet my goals. Her carefully crafted sessions have a mix of movement and strength training. I was able not only to keep up on the bike trip but experienced no soreness. - My times with her are truly a joy!

I will have been working with Kyung-sun for five years in January 2024 and I plan to continue with her forever! She is an incredible practitioner and has performed miracles with my posture and flexibility. She has an amazing sense of what may be needed, week to week. I am 67 and she prepares me for the ski season! I can’t even imagine where I would be without her!
