What is GPBALANCE?
The method
GPBALANCE invites us to connect to our body, to our breath, to the present moment. The postures, breathing and inner massages stimulate the endocrine glands for a harmonious and proactive health. Women and men from all walks of life: this practice is for you.
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
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.
Nathanaëlle Montebran (France)
With Fanny Lehideux + Frédérique Verdeau (France, 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.
Maria Jose Esteban (Chile)
With Gustavo Ponce (Chile, 2022)
I sincerely thank you Frédérique for having made us discover Gustavo's technique. Personally, it does me a lot of good considering my problems with vertigo, vestibular migraines and tinnitus. As much as I could not see myself teaching another hormonal yoga technique, I am impatient to be able to teach GP Balance because I am convinced of its effectiveness.
Myriam Semery (France)
With Fanny Lehideux + Frédérique Verdeau + Gustavo Ponce (France, 2022)
The practice of GPBALANCE has been revolutionary for me because I feel that on the one hand, it gives me a lot of energy, I don't feel tired during the day and on the other hand, it is a method that saves yoga techniques and practices that were a bit forgotten and that I had no way of accessing beyond literature and I felt that something was missing in my personal practice. From what I have seen, it is also revolutionizing the lives of others, even those who have never practiced yoga. GPBALANCE is wonderful and I think you should spread the word because it is truly energy medicine.
