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.

Knowing GPBALANCE has given me hope for a strong and permanent health despite the hormonal changes of menopause. The body feels more supple and I feel a noticeable improvement in my mood. In short, youthfulness restored !

With Gustavo Ponce (Chile, 2022)
Meeting GPBALANCE allowed me to learn a method that brings together what is really a practice of Hatha Yoga, it is a method that allows to find the Conscious Being (physical body, subtle body and causal body), each at its own pace, experiencing in each technique of each section its effects, helping to find the balance that everyone needs. A wonderful, complete and very effective method. Once again eternally grateful to Gustavo for all his generosity in sharing this knowledge and creating this excellent method.
