Nina Pearlman, native of Los Angeles, CA, began her Gyrotonic journey ten years ago, in San Francisco, while attending the Alonzo King Lines Ballet BFA program. While earning her BFA in dance, Nina simultaneously spent four years studying the Gyrotonic method, under the direction of master trainer Debra Rose. Upon graduation, she became a fully certified Gyrotonic trainer, and has been teaching and dancing professionally ever since.

Currently, Nina is a GYROTONIC® Pre-Trainer under her master trainer Kathy Van Patten, as well as a certified GYROKINESIS® trainer. Throughout her teaching career, she has studied around the world in places such as California, Colorado, New York, France, and Spain, and is certified additionally on the jumping stretching board, archway, and Gyrotonic level 2. Nina especially enjoys the therapeutic courses, and has studied the psoas principles, explorations into the extremes, application for hands and feet, and pre/post natal courses.

As a teacher, Nina has a wide range of experience working with all kinds of clients, leading group classes, and creating her own master classes. Nina loves to get creative with her teaching, and finds the ultimate joy when a client makes a breakthrough and realizes how far they’ve come in their own bodies
