Emma Kingston LMT, Master GYROTONIC/GYROKINESIS® Trainer, Co-Owner

• Emma Kingston (previously Emma Ledbetter) has been part of the GYROTONIC® community since 2000. Emma was originally a massage therapist working in San Francisco, CA. Having been a dancer and a gymnast from a very early age, Emma has a natural connection to movement. Born with problematic feet and later developing scoliosis she went in search of a comfortable body. After attending an art high school as a dancer and becoming a massage therapist, Emma wished to see more long-lasting results in her clients’ bodies. Thinking that movement was the perfect thing to accomplish this; it seemed more active participation on the clients’ behalf was the way to go.
• After literally stumbling upon Gyrotonic at San Francisco GYROTONIC® Emma saw so much potential in the vastness of this methodology she decided to do her pretraining with Tamara Yoneda. Emma completed her Foundation Course with Debra Rose and tested out with Juliu Horvath.
• The first person to introduce Gyrotonic to the state of Oregon, Emma was so productive with the results of her clients that she has continued on to become a Master Trainer of the system. Now a fully certified GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Master Trainer, Emma continues to expand her studio as a teacher training facility as well as training center for clients of any and all needs.
