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, full-range movements of Gyrotonic. She particularly enjoys the balance between the linear, strengthening work of Pilates and the circular, three-dimensional movements of Gyrotonic, which promote joint mobility, dynamic strength, stability, and overall fluid movement.She continues to explore new modalities in exercise and rehabilitation and maintains an open-minded, multi-modal approach.

Ker Yu enjoys working 1:1 with clients of all backgrounds. Her teaching focuses on developing athleticism and strength while cultivating ease, fluidity, and a sense of spaciousness in the body.

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