The Movement Lab Encinitas - Encinitas, California

Laura S.

I have been working with Nathalie for several years. I'm a 74-year-old woman who had never done any formal exercise beyond running and walking. When we started we did Gyrotonics and some Pilates, and it was great because Nathalie is so knowledgeable and intentional about everything we do. She is acutely aware of all of my body issues, and she tailors everything we do specifically for me. She pushes me to work hard and go beyond my comfort zone but is totally supportive at the same time. But since she added Garuda to our training sessions I have blossomed in ways I couldn't have imagined. Garuda is a kind of combination of Pilates, yoga and ballet (my uneducated take on it). I find it more doable than Pilates, and more challenging than Gyro. I am the opposite of a jock and I actually enjoy Garuda--there are endless possibilities so it never gets boring, and I can actually see how I have improved. Some of it is even fun! After a fairly short time I have gained strength and flexibility in my everyday life--I can lift things that were hard for me before, without straining my back, and my balance and physical confidence have noticeably improved. These sessions are a financial splurge for me, but I believe the investment in my physical and mental health and stability is beyond worth it. I would recommend The Movement Lab Encinitas without hesitation.

I’ve been practicing gyrotonic with Nathalie for 2 years. I am so much stronger and healthier now, comparing to when I first came to see her. Nathalie is a phenomenal teacher. She has a unique blend of skills in movement and body work. She is gentle, intuitive and empathic, yet she can challenge you to work hard towards your goals. Nathalie creates a sense of safety and provides companionship and support to all those frozen, stuck and confused places in the body, so they can be felt, integrated and transformed. She is always continuing her education and never stops learning. I recommend her to anyone who is struggling with their bodies physically or just want to improve their mobility, strength, flexibility and function.

Natalie is a fabulous teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive and prepared. Every session is challenging and different. She takes a holistic approach to improve balance, strength and flexibility. She is both demanding and supportive and is extremely careful to keep safety first. Her equipment is totally up to date and the studio is beautiful. She is also great fun and has become a real friend. I love Gyrotonic and she adds other disciplines according to my needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I love Nathalie’s sessions!

She is deeply knowledgeable on the different disciplines that she offers and knows how to combine them in a very smart, personalized and safe way.

I have learn so much with her about proper alignment and healthy ways to keep my body in shape!

I am amazed by how no matter the deep level of knowledge and awareness that she has about the body, she keeps studying and perfecting her work.

Such a gift! 💜

I highly recommend Gyrotonic Encinitas. At seventy five, I never thought I would be standing straighter, walking faster and more flexible than I can ever recall. But with her talent, skill and knowledge of Gyrotonics, and Rolfing, Nathalie has taught me how to strengthen my body.
My increased flexibility, improved circulation and overall body awareness has inspired me to challenge myself- I’m more active than ever.
