Shannon Sterne has more than 20 years of experience as a movement educator. She taught courses in ballet, modern dance, and kinesiology at dance studios, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and has presented at dance medicine conferences nationally and internationally. During her tenure as an assistant professor in the Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University, Shannon was introduced to the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® and was immediately hooked. She retired from dance and dove into her training with Master Trainer Lisa Lansing and soon became a Certified Instructor in both the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods.

In 2019, Shannon had the great pleasure to travel to Münstertal, Germany to participate in a Breathwork Intensive with Gyrotonic creator Juliu Horvath. She has also completed specialized training courses for working with shoulder and hip issues, scoliosis, osteoporosis, and the unique needs of dancers.

Shannon is an ACE Certified Medical Exercise Specialist, a Licensed Massage Therapist, and a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. She combines these practices to help her clients cultivate a movement education practice that is informed by the latest research on wellness, pain science, and neuromuscular re-education.
