Nora Heiber

About

As a founding member of San Francisco GYROTONIC®, Specialized Master Trainer, Nora Heiber has been teaching Gyrotonic methodology since 1988, providing training to countless teachers currently teaching all over the world. She has the distinction of being one of the first trainers to be named Master Trainer by Juliu Horvath.

Currently, Nora and her husband reside on 20-acres in Penn Valley, CA where they offer various teacher trainings, private and group classes, workshops and retreats. Her Gyrotonic studio consists of 3 Pulley-Towers, including an XS, an LEU, JSB, and 2 Ladders, and an outdoor studio for Gyrokinesis. Personal and custom-made retreats are available upon request along with on-site accommodations.

"The 𝐆𝐘𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂® EXPANSION SYSTEM® enabled me to overcome an injury that I was told would be a career ending injury in my early 20s.
I ended up dancing professionally for another 20 years and often felt as if the system was pausing my aging process. I have been privileged to witness and experience the evolution of a therapy that has been able to help so many people in such profound ways. It’s indescribable how satisfying it is to be able to share the seemingly magical qualities of 𝐆𝐘𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂® EXPANSION SYSTEM® with everyone I have the pleasure of working with."

Beyond Gyrotonic, Nora danced with Alonzo King's LINES Ballet for 12 years where she served as a Board Trustee prior to becoming a faculty member of the LINES educational programs. In addition, Nora has served the arts community as a Senior Negotiator for the American Guild of Musical Artists representing dancers, choristers, solo singers, and production staff of the opera and ballet for over 30 years and now supports the community as a certified mediator and certification candidate for Nonviolent Communication (for more information on Nonviolent Communication).
