Meet the Owner
Lauren sham
Lauren loves to learn and to teach. It is her life’s work to use strength and mobility, mainly through Gyrotonic training, to help people move better so they can continue doing the activities they love.
She finds it fulfilling to work with victims of stroke and Parkinsons, M.S., people suffering from posture issues, osteoporosis, and joint replacements to help them improve their quality of life.
Working with dancers holds a special place in her heart due to her experience of being a life time dancer. She finds it heartwarming to help a young dancer reach their dreams or an older dancer to keep dancing. And she enjoys working with athletes of all levels because it is rewarding to see them meet their goals and continue doing the activities that bring them joy.
She holds an Associate of Arts Degree in Dance Performance from Valencia College, a Bachelor’s Degree in Business from the University of South Florida. She is also Certified as a Gyrotonic® Pre-Trainer, Gyrokinesis® Instructor and Comprehensively Trained Balanced Body® Pilates Instructor.
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 since 2016. Lauren implemented the Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® service lines at Healthfit Powered by Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
