We are honored to be the first and only LICENSED and fully equipped Gyrotonic studio in Claremont, the entire Inland Empire and eastern Los Angeles County.
What does fully equipped mean? Much like a Pilates studio is only "fully equipped" if it has all of the Pilates apparatus and not just the reformer, the Gyrotonic system was designed to be taught on all 5 pieces of specialized equipment.
Blossoming Lotus GYROTONIC® (and Pilates) is a revolutionary luxury Movement Arts and Holistic Wellness Center devoted to helping you choose a lifestyle of optimal health, serving the surrounding communities of Claremont and Upland. As Exercise Therapists/Medical Massage Therapists, we deliver the finest “concierge-level” Pilates, Gyrotonic exercise and Manual Therapies available. We specialize in the Holistic full body strengthening system of The Gyrotonic® Method, along with Stott Pilates and the Manual Therapies of CranioSacral, Visceral Manipulation, and Onsen Structural Therapy to support your move toward a more balanced, healthy life in mind, body and spirit. We are dedicated to meeting you where you are on your wellness journey and guiding you toward living your best life. Sessions available for fitness, wellness and rehabilitation clients.
Our one-on-one Private Sessions, Duet Sessions and Trios offer greater attention to detail, that you simply cannot receive in a group setting. Each session is designed specifically for you and your needs, working to bring symmetry and balance, while focusing on the body as a whole.
All levels are welcome!
Whether you're looking to take your workouts or athletic endeavors to the next level, you are rehabilitating an injury, or you are looking for your very first Pilates or Gyrotonic workout...you've come to the right place. If you are seeking pain relief, as therapists we understand therapeutic movement and have 25+ years of advanced training to assist you! We also have specialized training in working with athletes and dancers of all ages.
The Gyrotonic Expansion System® is an energetic (Chi) movement system that incorporates natural and fluid movements of the body, focusing on specific breathwork, connection to the seed center (Dan Tien), and suppling and strengthening through spirals, figure 8’s, waves, circles, and other forms of sacred anatomical geometry. The movements feel like Tai Chi with the resistance of water. Unlike conventional exercise equipment that can cause injury through jarring actions, the circular, spiraling, and undulating movements that characterize the Gyrotonic Method help to increase the functional capacity of the spine, contributing to a spherical and multidimensional awareness, resulting in increased equilibrium. Plus, it’s just plain FUN! The Gyrotonic Method is performed utilizing 5 different pieces of stunning equipment from Germany, along with The GYROKINESIS® Method which is performed on a mat and stool (currently taught by Laura via the Zoom platform). Gyrotonic exercise can be experienced as a Private, Duet, or as small group Trio in a circuit format.

Teaching The Gyrotonic Method is our life's work (since 2005), and we are passionate about sharing the benefits. We also offer lessons in The Stott Pilates Method (all apparatus along with Stott's amazing Rehab Pilates program), Holistic Bodywork, Manual Therapy, Visceral Manipulation Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Meditation Instruction and Sound Healing Therapy.
Our studio is modern, friendly, peaceful and feels like a five diamond luxury spa. We’ve created a zen-like retreat where our clients look forward to focusing on themselves for an hour, leaving the cares of the world at the door. The studio has been thoughtfully laid out for optimal privacy and energy flow (thanks to our Feng Shui Master)!
At Blossoming Lotus Gyrotonic (& Pilates) we use a synthesis of Manual Therapy, Pilates & The Gyrotonic Method, to create your personal exercise & wellness REVOLUTION. We work closely with a range of other health professionals. We are a wife & husband “dynamic duo” and have advanced training beyond “just teaching movement" and are the most highly qualified instructor/therapists in the area. We both have over 30 years of teaching mindful movement experience. We are Hawaii Licensed Medical Massage and Manual Therapists and have multiple certifications including Stott Pilates, The Gyrotonic Method, Yoga, Massage Therapy, Manual Therapy and are passionate about movement, health and caring for others.
We are skilled in working with a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, scoliosis management, chronic pain, injury recovery and prevention, traumatic brain injury, pre and post operative rehabilitation, sports, dancers, prenatal and postnatal, athletes, chronic pain, women's health, aging gracefully, and general fitness.
Our fully equipped studio has two separate training areas: one for our Gyrotonic program, one for our Pilates program. Both spaces have Medical Grade HEPA filtration to keep the air clean of contaminates, and we sanitize our equipment (and all high touch surfaces) with medical-grade disinfecting wipes between sessions. We've added 15 minute windows between all sessions to keep the studio fresh and avoid congestion. All sessions are a full hour in length.
We are not interested in quantity (of reps, or large group classes), we ARE interested in the quality of the movement experience. We are very hands on and correct everything (neuromuscular re-education). We explain why a concept or exercise is important, we teach you about which muscles are working, we teach you about how your body works properly (and to learn to notice when it’s not working properly so you can self-correct), we pay attention, we focus on the details.
With our help, our clients have revolutionized their body conditions (or “issues in the tissues”) and mental state, which allows them do what they love in their lives with ease, grace, and fluid strength. Over time, most of our client’s body issues are resolved as they have learned how to move efficiently to avoid any future injury or pain. We always get the results our clients are looking for. Clients who are dancers or athletes improve their technique drastically and end up having less injuries. We've even helped clients move from a walker or wheelchair to walking without assistance. We meet you where you are, and help you REVOLUTIONIZE a trail to where you want to be!
