Testimonials
I had the chance to take two hormonal yoga teacher trainings thanks to Frédérique Verdeau. The first, hosted by Dinah Rodrigues, was the start of my journey into hormonal wellness and yoga. This is why I did not hesitate for a second when Frédérique told me about the GPBALANCE training. Led by Gustavo Ponce, I was enthusiastic about this training. Gustavo is very pedagogical, he shares with great generosity all his knowledge learned from the greatest yogis masters and put at the service of hormonal balance. I experienced this training as a great homecoming. I came back to my breathing, to my body with a more developed consciousness. The exercises are varied, both accessible and demanding. A return to balance that accompanies me in my daily practice and that I look forward to sharing with my students.

I loved this immersion and the discovery of gpbalance, in a very supportive group. I found this approach fascinating and felt the benefits immediately in terms of vitality. I appreciate the value of Gustavo's teaching, which brings us not only to a physiological and health dimension that is completely up-to-date, but also to the foundations of yoga and even to its depths. I feel both fortunate and grateful to have been able to participate.

Since discovering the GPBALANCE method, my interest in yoga has grown considerably as I have seen the changes it has produced in my daily life. As part of my training, I recently had the opportunity to teach a GPBALANCE class to a group of 8 students I didn't know. I took the challenge seriously, I prepared the course beforehand and the feeling of being in front of a group of students that I could help, advise and share the GPBALANCE method with, was so great that it allowed me to visualize the possibility of continuing to teach the method to more people.

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.
