ABOUT US

What we Do

Breathe, sink, play, trust, feel. Panta Rhei Studio is a pocket of calm in the centre of Amsterdam. From high level athletes and dancers to people with injuries, we help our clients build functional strength, improve joint stability and increase flexibility. The specialised Gyrotonic® equipment reduces gravity making it incredibly safe for post surgical recovery or rehabilitation, and adds resistance to help you study the movement. A Gyrotonic® class is a moment to go back to yourself. Movement meets the breath, helping us develop awareness and calmness. The exercises will become eventually more complicated and fast, but with a very specific technique applied.

We value the importance of teaching the true essence of the Gyrotonic Expansion System®, honoring and preserving the structure of its fundamental principles. We firmly stand by using the Gyrotonic® equipment solely for its original purpose and remain committed to offering the Gyrotonic® Expansion System in its authentic form. Its benefits are available to everyone and are easily accessible when its principles are followed with clarity, respect, and integrity. We strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals of all levels can explore and enhance their physical, mental, and emotional well-being through the transformative practices of Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis®
