Marissa Rae Niederhauser

Marissa brings “…a sophisticated knowledge of functional anatomy... with a compassionate attentiveness to students' comfort. Marissa is both encouraging and precise in her instruction.”  

-Mindy, LSW/hypnotherapist

As a lifelong dancer Marissa has sampled a variety of body conditioning methods. Recovering from a dance related surgery in 2012 she discovered GYROTONIC® exercise and with it a new, more nurturing approach to physical training. She feels that Gyrotonic is the most comprehensive training system available and is supportive to the body in it’s natural, harmonious movement pathways. She is passionately curious about anatomy and body mechanics and strives for an empathetic training approach. The ups and downs of working with the body over a long dance career has given her a unique and sensitive understanding of how deeply connected our physical and emotional selves are. She believes that our body’s are our lifelong home, and as such, they deserve the highest level of respect and care. She wants to help you make your ‘home' as comfortable, functional and elegant as it can be.
