Our Philosophy

Nurturing

BodySpan Studio provides a nurturing environment where the focus is entirely on you—the individual. Whether working one-on-one or in small groups, we cultivate awareness and encourage subtle yet profound changes in your movement patterns.

Open Dialogue

GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methodologies celebrate how energy travels through the body, opening pathways to greater awareness. We encourage verbal dialogue as new insights emerge, creating space to breathe deeply and integrate body, mind, and spirit.

Balance

Our lives are three-dimensional, and we find ourselves constantly in motion. We all yearn for balance as we move through the world. We help you experience that equilibrium in a beautiful, peaceful setting that honors your body's natural rhythms.

Our Story

2001-2004

European Foundation

After years of teaching ballet and Broadway dance in the United States, founder Deborah McBride embarked on a transformative journey to Europe. She studied with master trainer Hilary Cartwright and apprenticed at White Cloud in Amsterdam, Netherlands, becoming certified by Juliu Horvath himself at the European headquarters in Bad Krozingen, Germany.

2005-2022

BodySpan Studio is Born

Returning to the United States with a vision to continue her work in Boulder, Colorado, Deborah's desire to create an atmosphere of calm and serenity in a private setting led her to found BodySpan Studio. From day one, our mission has been to provide personalized, therapeutic movement instruction.

2022-Present

Growing Community

Over nearly two decades, BodySpan Studio has grown into a trusted sanctuary for movement healing. We've moved to Arvada and expanded our team with certified instructor Carly Hambridge from Boulder Ballet, while maintaining our commitment to personalized, therapeutic instruction in an intimate setting.
