Deborah B McBride

About

After teaching and choreographing everything from ballet to Broadway dance stateside, Deborah decided to embark on a new teaching career in Europe. In 2001, she studied with master trainer Hilary Cartwright and apprenticed at White Cloud Amsterdam. There she worked closely with owner/instructor Andreas Justrich, subsequently becoming certified by Juliu Horvath in GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® at the European headquarters in Bad Krozingen, Germany.

Deborah taught for several years before adding a GYROKINESIS® certificate to her credit and also has certification in the Jumping Stretching Board, a specialized piece of equipment in the GYROTONIC® system. She has also completed courses in Therapeutic Applications of GYROTONIC® for Shoulder Girdle, Pelvic Girdle and Lumbar Spine which were created and taught by master trainer Paul Horvath.

In 2004, Deborah returned to the U.S. and wanted to continue her work in Boulder, Colorado. A desire to create an atmosphere of calm and serenity in a private setting led her to found her own body movement studio. Thus in 2005 bodySpan Studio was born.
