What is The Seed Center?
Many people ask us why we named the studio The Seed Center? In the GYROTONIC® Method, the term “seed center” refers to the energetic center residing in the pelvis and is where all life begins. Connecting and moving from our seed center allows us to firmly root and flourish into healthy beings.
The Seed Center seemed the perfect name for our sacred space—a place to root and a place to grow.
The Founder's Story
women-owned and founded in 2015
The Seed Center, a GYROTONIC® studio founded by Charley Aldred and Joyce Chen, opened its doors in 2015 in San Francisco, California. As female founders, we felt the need to create a Gyrotonic community where students and teachers inspire one another, support one another, and work together towards a goal of health, balance, and resilience.
In 2021, we expanded to a second location in East Hampton, NY. Though the Gyrotonic Method is not as well known as yoga or pilates, we are dedicated to making it accessible to all ages and walks of life. We are also a teacher training facility and provide mentorship for aspiring teachers.
Today, we are proud to say that The Seed Center has blossomed into a worldwide community and is an incredible support system for teachers and students alike.
