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.

Gustavo, thanks to his yogi background mixed with his personal life path, knows how to make this training attractive and very interesting. His GPBALANCE method is unique and it is a strong tool that he transmits to us with all his generosity, his humor and his anecdotes.

All my thanks for this discovery of GPBALANCE in Angers. It was just perfect ! I really appreciated the exercises, the sequences, your way of bringing the teaching, your comments and judicious corrections to take the postures correctly, it made the difference !
Françoise Coquel (France)
With Fanny Lehideux + Frédérique Verdeau (France, 2022)
Presence and calmness, that's how I could describe in a nutshell what I managed to feel after 1 year of GPBALANCE practice. The tools I assimilated from GPBALANCE helped me to better understand my mind and my body and, in moments of "crisis", thanks to this presence and calmness, I manage to apply them to balance myself.
