About

Ker Yu is a certified instructor in Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis, and pilates via Polestar Pilates. She has completed advanced trainings in Gyrotonic Level 2, the Gyrotoner, and specialized programming for athletes and pre- and postnatal clients.

She has been practicing Pilates since high school and Gyrotonic since college to support her athletic pursuits. She began teacher trainings in both modalities in 2014 initially to support her personal practice. She began teaching in 2019 and has taught at studios in Miami, Los Angeles, and now Boulder.

She blends Pilates principles of control and precision with the dynamic, fluid movements of Gyrotonic to create a holistic movement program for her clients. She continually explores new modalities in exercise and rehabilitation and maintains an open-minded, multi-modal approach.

Ker Yu enjoys working with clients of all backgrounds. Her teaching focuses on developing strength, posture, balance, and a sense of athleticism, while cultivating ease, fluidity, and a sense of spaciousness in the body. She cares equally about biomechanical precision as she does about helping her clients have fun and build confidence while moving.

In addition to her home studio, Ker Yu also teaches at Gyrotonic Bodhi in Boulder, Contrology Studio in Louisville and Pilates of Lyons.
