Chizuru is certified as a Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis instructor and holds additional certificates in Leg Extension Unit, Jumping Stretching Board, Gyrotoner and Archway.

Chizuru's Class is a vigorous workout which is both Cheerful and encouraging. For Chizuru, Gyrotonic training is the ultimate method for integrating body, mind, breath, and movement in a way that stimulates the body's natural healing capacity. As a dancer, she has always known the joys and benefits of moving her body in a fluid, dynamic, and playful way. As a Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis instructor, she enjoys having the opportunity to help clients rediscover their own connection to this source of healing, energy, and joy in their bodies. Chizuru studied dance at Alvin Ailey Dance School and Alonzo King Lines Ballet School after graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a BA in music and dance.

Like many dancers, she was suffering from a variety of injuries due to the daily wear and tear on her body. After just a few short months of Gyrotonic training she began to see and feel an improvement in her body and found a strength and efficiency in her movement that no other form of cross training or rehabilitation had provided. "I really appreciate having had the honor of witnessing and experiencing the evolution of a healing methodology that has the capacity to help so many people in such profound ways. It is impossible to express how very fulfilling it is to be able to share the seemingly magical qualities of the Gyrotonic Expansion System with each individual with whom I am honored to work.
