Join us for a special celebration in honor of International Yoga Day. Experience the power of unity as we come together to practice the complete sequence of 50 GPBALANCE techniques. This immersive event is led by Karina and Tania, certified teachers of GPBALANCE.
GPBALANCE is a method created by Gustavo Ponce based on traditional yoga, honoring the Indian philosophical heritage, while offering a modern and concrete method. This hormonal yoga technique will allow you to restore your vitality and naturally rebalance your hormonal health and/or that of your students/patients.
This event is open to those who want to teach the method, but also to those who are interested in learning it for their personal practice.
Practice
The 5 sections of GPBALANCE:
-
The study of different breathing and postural techniques: Kaya Stairyam Sankalpa, Bija Mantras, Prana Vidya, Kapalabhati, Bhastrika 1, Bhastrika 2. These techniques work on stillness, stability and concentration of body and mind as well as the channeling of energy.
-
Preparatory work of simple postures lying on the back, accompanied by visualizations and the various breathing techniques studied in the previous section. This enables us mobilize energy around pelvic region.
-
Standing postures whose primary objective is to strengthen the flexibility, strength, balance and agility of our whole body. This also enables us to mobilize energy throughout the body.
-
In this section, the focus is on pressing the pubis to the ground and strengthening the core area of the body as well as the abdominal area. We will also perform a series of inverted postures.
-
This last seated section will cover different techniques such as Uddiyana Bandha, Agnisara Dhauti, Nauli, Ashwini Mudra, Nadi Shodhana Pranayama. The essential objective of these techniques being to achieve a rebalancing of the hormonal system in a more intense way than during the various techniques and asanas proposed in the previous sections. They also help to cleanse and lighten the body of functional obstacles caused largely by stress. We end this last section of the practice with a brief contemplation (which includes your last Sankalpa), Neo-Tummo and Yoga Nidra.

Testimonials
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.

If I had to translate GPBALANCE into one word, it would be "health". Despite the fact that I have recently started my first 50 hours of training, I can already perceive the wealth of information it contains, I think that everything I have seen so far leads on the right path to improve our physical, mental and emotional well-being. And I must emphasize that one of the things that has attracted my attention the most and that is still present, is that I am more and more aware of the importance of the breath, its power and its important impact on our body.

I did the GPBALANCE hormonal yoga workshop. I loved it ! It is a very interesting workshop. Gustavo is not only a very wise man but also very kind, he has a sense of humor and he is a very close person, you can ask him any question, even after the workshop and he gives a lot of advice. He explains the theory in a very understandable way and teaches the practice. I am very grateful for what he has taught and I recommend to take the course !

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.
