At ShadowOfaDancer, we strongly believe that movement and art are for everyone. With the right tools, all bodies can learn to move with strength and grace.
Established in 2019, ShadowOfaDancer started as Jessica Woodman's personal website to showcase her work as a professional dancer. Soon, it evolved into a small business with various service offerings, providing nontraditional personal training to Palo Alto and its surrounding areas. We specialize in posture and alignment correction, reduction of joint and muscle pain, and improved movement quality, using the GYROKINESIS® & GYROTONIC® methods. Our clientele ranges from professional dancers to retirees with no prior movement experience.
GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® are sister methods that address the entire body to provide numerous benefits like increased suppleness and strength, wider range of motion, less joint and muscle pain, and better resistance to aging. While Gyrotonic is practiced on specialized equipment, Gyrokinesis is practiced on stools and yoga mats.

Jessica's introductory sessions were definitely worth the investment. Her ability to tailor the exercises to meet the particular needs and comfort level of each client is exceptional. Working with her has been enjoyable, and I look forward to scheduling additional classes with her in the future.

I have benefited from Jessica's classes, which have improved my range of motion and posture. Although the changes were initially slight, I later became aware of how much more height I had gained following each session. Jessica possesses a vast amount of knowledge and articulates concepts in a manner that is easily understandable to me. She exhibits remarkable patience and offers guidance on what to focus on during the exercises. I have integrated the techniques I learned from Jessica into my workout routines, and I wholeheartedly suggest attending her Gyrokinesis and Pilates classes.
