Teresina Goheen is a Gyrotonic® teacher in San Francisco. She specializes in private training and duets.
Included in her years of study with the Gyrotonic Expansion System®, Teresina was a professional dancer formerly with companies such as Milwaukee Ballet, Ballet Hispanico, Tulsa Ballet, Dayton Ballet and Fort Wayne Ballet. As a dancer, she also worked in Las Vegas with the Siegfried and Roy Show and with Michael Crawford in EFX. She finished her dance career as a cruise ship dancer traveling around the world. Teresina believes the foundation of her long career was the Gyrotonic Expansion System and its principles.
Teresina started her Gyrotonic training in one of the first studios in New York with the master trainer Hillary as her first teacher. She became "officially" certified in Los Angeles in 2003 with master trainer Barbara Schwartz. Her studies have continued including the many workshops with Paul Horvath who is the official physical therapist of the system.

Gyrotonic movements improve posture, strength, and flexibility. The movement created in the system is like that of a swimmer, a dancer or one performing martial arts. The movement is fluid and is based on natural movements, aligning the bones so that the muscles are performing in the most efficient manner.
My philosophy is to be a "catalyst" in those I train -- "an agent that provokes or speeds significant positive change or action".
Teresina is currently renting space at A Body of Work and Synergy on Sacramento. She is looking for clients who want to try something new!
