Tim Brown, September Mover of the Month

The most rewarding and awe-inspiring part of being a teacher of the GYROTONIC® Method is to witness the TRANSFORMATIONS .

Students often arrive at The Seed Center dealing with chronic pain, injuries or simply wanting to feel young in their body again.

These transformations are not only therapeutic but can also be life-altering. Some students become so inspired and thirsty for more knowledge they embark on the Teacher Training program.

Many times they need encouragement. They say "I'm not a dancer, why would I do this?" or "How can I be a movement teacher, I was a businessman." Some say they're only going to take the first course, and then a year later we get teary seeing them complete the entire program and pass their final certification.

We assure them every step of the way: their voice is important, their story is important and their unique perspective can help others just like them find relief and joy in their bodies again.

Tim Brown is one of these people.

Early on in the quarantine when Tim began popping into our ONLINE classes, none of us had met him before so we were overjoyed and inspired to learn more about this man from Florida.

He was first drawn to the method 10 years ago after he was diagnosed with 5 herniated cervical discs. GYROTONIC® brought him almost immediate relief from the pain associated with his cervical spine but he also noticed early on that his entire body started to feel more flexible, stronger and more agile.

Four years ago, at the age of 64, he retired from Sysco Corporation and now today his passion is GYROTONIC®. He has completed the Foundation Course and is currently an apprentice trainer.

The silver lining of this pandemic for us is getting to meet movers from all over the world and Tim says "finding The Seed Center has been his silver lining."

Tim is incredibly dedicated and positive; he knows how vital his movement practice is so he takes "3 different GYROKINESIS® classes a week and usually from 2 or 3 different instructors from The Seed Center and finds them all to be beneficial, enjoyable and fun."

People like Tim encourage us and remind us why we teach— to guide and witness these TRANSFORMATIONS .
