TESTIMONIALS
"Debra is definitely an inspiring teacher with her positivity, creativity and amazing skill and expertise. "
Just want to drop you a message to thank
you for this mornings session.
I woke up with a stiffest neck the whole world and chronic pains here and there.
After your class, my neck is as free as that
of a giraffe! Swinging without any
strained points & pain free.
I'm not sure what kind of spell you cast.
And I don't know what else to say except
thank you and thank you.

A treat of the pandemic,
is having access to amazing teachers like yourself. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in your class.
You shared a great deal of information and it was refreshing to hear your perspective.
I hope the opportunity will
present itself again.

Thank you for a fascinating three days!
I really felt so wonderfully different after,
and I was not tired at all despite the effort
and concentration. Besides the joy of
learning a whole new set of movements,
there were so many things I appreciated
about your teaching --
your playfulness & humor, your expertise & thoroughness that was not overbearing, your generosity, you clearly love your work...

Debra is an incredible teacher who can
beautifully show in many ways to her
students, her understanding of her own practice. This knowledge informs her instruction and makes it more meaningful
and helpful to me. Moreover, just
watching her is enlightening in its own right.
I feel very fortunate to have this training
now and then to move my practice forward....

I can't begin to thank you enough for
the past few days...
you are an absolute inspiration!
I could have listened to you talk endlessly about this method. You have such
a wealth of knowledge and history, and
I'm beyond grateful to have crossed paths with you! Every time I participate in this method, I feel such a deeper connection to it, and you ultimately rocked the socks off my feet this weekend! Such an incredible experience to have you guide all of us!

What a beautiful expression of love and caring.... halfway through the class I found myself smiling, a huge (and omnipresent) weight lifted. It felt like a miracle, and I
am not exaggerating... a flat out
MIRACULOUS HEALING!
So thank you, for myself and all the others lucky enough to have been there for your healing ceremony a la Julio.

Debra Rose took the time to target one of my dance habits and created an exercise that would introduce me to feeling my extensions in the correct way. She explained that there was no way I would be able to effectively move correctly in my extensions until I had actually felt the true feeling of scooping.
She explained that I would be able to effectively move correctly in my extensions once I had actually felt the true feeling of scooping. While working in ballet class the next day, I genuinely felt an epiphany in the way my body was moving; my extensions
felt easier, yet stronger because I was utilizing the correct muscles in order to
move effectively through my body.

I want to thank Debra and share my experience today. My right ankle was not so comfortable today when I got up, so I tried the idea of "creature inside." I remember Debra said if the tunnel is open, the creature will send the energy to the power point. When I realized the parts of my body that were stuck, I tried to release by keeping the tunnel open. I felt the change of my right leg and hip. After the class, there is no uncomfortable feeling at all. I feel the energy body, is our ideal alignment (body, mind and emotion), representing our inner potential. “The energy body moves a bit earlier, then our physical body follows.” That’s so beautiful. This image gives me a subtle “pause”, which eliminates the rush for quick result. We don’t need to seek for the “home” - we don’t need to use too much effort to reach to some “position”. The “home” is always there. Through conscious movements, we gradually return home. It's so amazing. Thank you!

I still feel like I'm on cloud nine after your class... the shock wave continues!
Your way of teaching has brought something out of me. You made me feel brave to move, big enough to reach far, open to experience the joy of moving, and I smiled the whole time... Amazing! Under your leading, I found my full self moving, all my cells inside my body moving... I am alive! And you saw it!
You have such amazing observation….. as they call it "Eagle eyes." You don't just see body parts, you see emotions through the movements. I hope to be like you - a great teacher who can bring out the best in people. Knowing you has given me such a wonderful Gyrotonic experience.
I thank you.
Thank you again for a wonderful final cert course. I really appreciated how deep and clear the movement is in your body.
Your teaching was so clear and
insightful and really helped deepen my
understanding of the work.

I have known Debra for over 24 years. Debra is as an extraordinary teacher, mentor, soul, and human. She embodies integrity, creativity, wisdom, sincerity, kindness, humor, and generosity. She lives and breathes the Gyrotonic system and teaches from this deep knowing and experience. I truly believe she has turned this system inside-out and outside-in. All her classes and workshops, however big or small, has clearly been worked to the nth degree and what she delivers every time are Gyrotonic gems and keepsakes. She doesn’t waste words. What she shared with me over 20 years ago about the Gyrotonic system still stands true today. She demonstrates every form and all the nuances clearly in her body and in her words. She is patient and cares deeply for her students. Though Debra is humble, I consider her a rock star. Her trainings always take me to the next level, leaves me inspired, and wanting more!
