Ann Charlotte, July's Mover of the Month

Shortly after launching our ONLINE studio, we began to notice Ann-Charlotte popping into our classes daily, sometimes even twice a day. She would appear in class from the most beautiful studio while we were showing exercises next to our couches—our curiosity was piqued to say the least.

We were even further astonished to find out she was joining us daily from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France!

In the past two months, we've gotten to know this lovely woman's remarkable story and we nominated her to be The Seed Center's Mover of the Month!

Ann-Charlotte first discovered the GYROTONIC® Method 15 years ago after a devastating injury ended her ballet career. She was in a wheelchair after sustaining 7 fractures in her pelvis and thought she would never walk again.

However, after 2 years of daily GYROTONIC® lessons not only was she able to walk again but she embarked on a new career as a contemporary dancer. She now owns a dance studio and runs a pre-professional dance program, hence the beautiful studio she joins us from for classes.

Over the past ten years, Ann-Charlotte found she wasn't taking time for herself anymore. Her priorities had shifted to taking care of her students and her business and her GYROTONIC® practice had fallen by the wayside.

As a result, she noticed her old pains were creeping back in—teaching ballet and even walking was becoming painful and challenging.

But after just 2 months of ONLINE classes at The Seed Center she feels 10 years younger. There's no pain anymore! She even joined our Saturday Ballet Barre & Body Class and took her first ballet barre since 2005!

It has been incredibly inspiring for us to meet a student whose life has been so transformed by the GYROTONIC® Method and as a result is so committed to showing up daily.

The method "works like magic on my body and my mind!" Her life has been so transformed that she is now going through the GYROTONIC® Teacher Training in France!

"The Seed Center's Team has been so supportive with me, even from the other side of the globe. So I'm really enjoying working with them every week, from home!" -Ann-Charlotte

We miss our studio and were skeptical about the ONLINE format but we've met so many incredible people. The focus, dedication and enthusiasm of our students has always been what set our studio apart. Our students aspire for integrity and authenticity in their holistic movement practice—it is no different in our ONLINE studio. It is a joy to see our community blossom and thrive.
