GYROTONIC

GYROTONIC is a gentle but powerful movement system done on specialized equipment. It uses circular, flowing 3 – dimensional movements instead of rigid, linear exercises that together focus on the spine, joints, breath and nervous system. GYROTONIC feels more like a guided movement therapy than a workout. It is safe, controlled and adaptable for all ages and conditions.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Pilates with Simeen at Novare has become one of my favourite parts of the week.

Every Monday and Wednesday, I walk into class knowing I’ll leave feeling stronger, more energized, and in a better mood. Simeen has the rare ability to make every session feel both challenging and enjoyable. She knows exactly when to push me, when to encourage me, and somehow keeps me motivated even on days when I don’t feel like working out.

I’ve noticed such a difference in my strength, posture, and overall fitness since I started training with her, but what I value most is how much she genuinely cares about her clients and their progress. She’s made Pilates something I look forward to rather than something I have to do, and that’s made all the difference.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

After pregnancy and delivery, rebuilding my core felt daunting. Simeen changed that completely. She brings such intentional focus to every single exercise, breaking down mechanics and adjusting form in ways that make the work feel purposeful rather than rushed.

What sets her apart is how thoughtfully she curates each class—the sequencing, the pacing, the way she knows exactly when to push and when to breathe. Every session leaves me feeling genuinely stronger, more connected to my body, and genuinely great.

The studio itself is a beautiful, thoughtfully designed space that makes you want to show up.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

After years of staying active, I was looking for a movement practice that would help me stay strong, improve mobility, and move with greater ease. Since starting Gyrotonic®, I’ve noticed a significant difference in how my body feels: more open, aligned, energized, and comfortable in everyday movement. What keeps me coming back is the balance of challenge and ease that each session offers.

Working with Varsha has been a wonderful experience; she is attentive, encouraging, and always tailors the sessions to what my body needs. Her guidance has helped me discover new possibilities in movement and build greater confidence in how I move.

I would recommend Gyrotonic® to anyone looking to improve mobility, strength, and overall movement quality, regardless of age or fitness level. It’s a welcoming practice that meets you where you are and supports you every step of the way.
