I started training with the amazing Taryn Javier a year and a half ago when I had chronic pain and lower back issues. My shoulders were locked and my flexibility was quite limited. I did not take care of my body for quite some time and had ignored a few signs that I should have paid attention too earlier. However, ever since I started training with her, not only I have learned to pay closer attention to what my body needs but I have also strengthened my deep core muscles to prevent future injuries. The changes that I have noticed in my body after only 5 sessions were quite incredible. Although every individual is different, I noticed increased range of motion, especially in my shoulders, and after a year I could feel my spine elongating, I actually grew a bit taller! Being a dancer and a quite active person, it has definitely been a rewarding investment training with her. She truly cares for her clients and her passion for teaching you the best and leaving you better than what she found you is genuine. Likewise, her knowledge and how she customizes the training to your needs accompanied with her marvelous sense of humour and hospitality makes the sessions very enjoyable. I would recommend anybody who would like to push themselves to another level to try the GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS methods. Do it as soon as possible, it feels amazing, and you will be in great hands.

Taryn is a wonderful teacher. She has a most generous nature and an incredible hands on manner, which is both reassuring, discerning and demanding in a good way!) She is very sensitive to my physical limitations, but pushed me in a way that has led me to achieve the unexpected and made me very proud of what I have achieved. I feel much more connected to my body and feel that the way Taryn approaches teaching has everything to do with that. I'm looking forward to my next class!

After three decades of extreme body training and accumulative injuries, my experience with GYROTONIC has been profound. It’s an incredible system that deepens body mind awareness, core strength and balance through expansive subtle body movement. With Taryn’s exceptional guidance and intuitive ability I’ve already experienced deep healing from tissue damage and rejuvenation from immune disorder. Her passion and knowledge of the body supports you through an intimate process with genuine support and presence. I believe Taryn’s blend of movement expertise and keen eye has been a powerful asset in helping achieve personal potential. I recommend this system to anyone looking for a new approach in understanding personal connection and well being through movement.

GYROTONIC is a fun and challenging workout complimenting any body mover. Using circular movements new patterns are created in the body, helping to increase strength and create more space in the joints. Taryn Javier offers very knowledgeable, caring and intuitive instruction with lots of hands on adjustments, helping to guide me through the process. Through the process I noticed unexpected emotional releases and shifts, creating an opening in areas that I have had trouble accessing in the past.

I visited Taryn Javier and she was quick to give recommendations on how to work and stretch my muscles and joints due to my MS limitations. She was patient and gave great care when assisting me using the GYROTONIC principles.

I have been involved in the health and wellness industry for 15 years now as a massage therapist. During that time, I have had the opportunity to be surrounded by many amazing practitioners; ranging from chiropractors, to physiotherapists, yoga instructors as well as all sorts of athletes and personal trainers. I thought I knew everything about the body - especially the back. My uncle is a chiropractor who had trained me in active release therapy and deep tissue manipulation techniques. Both methods have greatly assisted me in understanding the body in a very unique way. Eventually, Taryn Javier tells me to try GYROTONIC. I was a little hesitant at first. I've had tons of different practitioners requesting to train me but I was just was not interested due to my own regiment. Beyond that, I've seen amazing body workers and thought I knew it all. After much encouragement on her part I finally allowed her to give me a small session. 5 min later I feel the results. My lumbar feels neutral! This is something chiropractors, physiotherapists, and massage therapists have been trying to assist me in accomplishing for over 15 years. I can honestly say I was excited... So excited that I'm gonna make it part of my get back to health protocol!!!! I will recommend this to all of my clients!!! Good job Taryn and thank you!

I've had chronic upper back pain for years and was initially skeptical about GYROTONIC because of my previous forays into different treatments that have only temporarily alleviated my symptoms. Taryn's hands on approach, coupled with the GYROTONIC technique relieved my built up tension in an immediate way that I haven't experienced in any other type of therapy. i experienced physical and emotional release immediately. My spine has felt more supple and my body moves in places I didn't know were jammed. GYROTONIC has changed my body.
