ABOUT JUERGEN

Juergen Bamberger, Specialized Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Master Trainer, with a B.A. in Dance Education, is an internationally recognized movement educator. He certifies Gyrotonic instructors and teaches the entire curriculum of the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods across the US and worldwide.

Forty years of teaching experience and training in numerous somatic modalities and movement arts, combined with a dance and performance background, give him a unique perspective on the moving human body.

Juergen was one of the first five Gyrotonic Master Trainers appointed by Juliu Horvath, almost thirty years ago at Juliu’s White Cloud Studios in NYC, where he worked under his tutelage and daily guidance for nine years.

After initially learning and practicing Juliu’s “Yoga For Dancers,” Juergen was present during the first GYROKINESIS® classes that Juliu introduced in the early 90’s and has been experiencing the evolution of his methods continuously over the last 30 years.

Juergen has been pioneering many aspects of this work:

In the early 90’s he introduced the Gyrotonic method to the field of Physical Therapy in New York City at P.T. Frania Zins’ practice, Physical Therapy Arts. During the same time he worked at the Gyrotonic department of the Alpha Clinic in Munich, a clinic focused on minimally invasive spinal surgery and the first place to adopt the method in Germany. Both engagements lasted four years.

Juergen was the first Master Trainer to travel and teach, bringing this method to other parts of the US and the world.

He has taught in over 15 countries and in hundreds of studios across the US, especially in the Midwest where he helped to lay the ground work for local communities in Chicago, Minneapolis, St.Louis, Detroit and Cleveland.

Internationally his focus has been in Asia, Brazil, Australia and Europe. In 2003 he taught Japan’s first Gyrotonic Foundation Course. In addition to regular visits to Japan, he has been teaching in Taiwan, Mainland China, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Juergen taught at Yang Ming University and National Taitung University in Taiwan. He has been teaching at ESALEN Institute since 2006, presented at the Body Mind Spirit Conference for seven years and at the PMA Conference for three years. He taught at The Open Center and Steps on Broadway in NYC.

In 2012 Juergen created the course Gyrotonic PSOAS PRINCIPLES, which is now part of the official Gyrotonic curriculum and credited as continuing education.

Juergen is based in New York City, USA and affiliated with the local Gyrotonic studio, Fluid Fitness NY. http://fluidfitnessny.com/about
