Lauren’s first love was ballet which she began to study at age 6. She taught and choreographed ballet, modern, and jazz for all ages at places such as Blake High School for Performing Arts, Brandon Ballet, Hillsborough Community College, and Sarasota Contemporary Dance. Her 2nd love is Gyrotonic® Method which she has taught at her own studio, Geometry of Movement and also at Healthfit powered by Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

She has experience working with victims of stroke and Parkinsons, athletes, people suffering from posture issues, osteoporosis, joint replacements, and those working towards overall health.

Laurel Pies
Laurel became a student of the Gyrotonic® Method in June of 2022 and her life changed in ways she had not expected. Laurel found inspiration in the dynamic movements of the Gyrotonic® method and as she continued to study and practice her body felt better and became stronger.
As she immersed herself in this practice, she discovered a newfound sense of purpose and direction. Her spirit was moved to learn more and share the beauty of this exercise modality with others, so she began her studies to become a Gyrotonic® teacher.
Laurel embraces her Gyrotonic® experience as an opportunity for self-discovery and renewal, empowering her to live a life filled with balance and joy. She is eager to share this experience with her students.
