Angela Palladini
Certified Gyrotonic Instructor
Angela Palladini found her love for Gyrotonic and Pilates under the direction of ballet teacher and mentor, Alicia Head, while dancing with South Bay Ballet in southern California. It was there that she discovered the strengthening benefits of Gyrotonic, and she immediately incorporated it into her cross-training regimen.
In June 2007 Angela was offered a position in Hubbard Street Dance Chicago s Scholarship program where she trained and participated in many repertory workshops with the company. During her time in Chicago she also danced with Same Planet Different World Dance Theatre, performed in Thodos Dance Chicago's "New Dances," Dance Chicago, and the Rebound Dance Festival. In June 2011 she relocated to Portland in pursuit of both dance and teaching opportunities and is now a company member of Portland s Polaris Dance Theatre, in addition to teaching Gyrotonic at Circle Studio.
Angela has seen the positive impact that Gyrotonic has had on her clients and their lives. She believes that Gyrotonic encompasses all aspects of movement through a system that is both strengthening and healing. She designs interesting and customized programs to fit each client s needs and goals. Angela is ecstatic to share her love for people, movement, and teaching and to help clients reach a balance of the body, mind, and spirit.
Angela holds a 200-hour certification in Yoga Alliance Vinyasa Yoga and Yoga Sculpt from CorePower Yoga in Chicago and Level One Certification in Gyrotonic, earned in Chicago at Northshore Gyrotonic studying with Master Trainer Alissa Seim.
