“Judy Herbert taught weekly classes of the Gyrokinesis Method to our Company during
the preparation of our Production 2011.
Her classes were much appreciated by the dancers and myself. They proved
extremely useful both in the technical development of the dancers as well as
maintaining the Company injury free and in good shape.
Judy showed herself to be in command of the method and delivered it with dedication,
enthusiasm and authority.

“I have known Judy Herbert in Barcelona. She has been my Gyrotonic instructor for
two years. Ms.Herbert has been a wonderful and motivated teacher with a very
pleasant and inspiring attitude during our sessions. Being an ex-dancer and in need of
working to keep in form, I was thrilled to meet her and discover her expertise and
knowledge as teacher.
I highly recommend Ms.Herbert for any position or endeavour that she may seek to
pursue. She will be a valuable asset for any school, studio or dance company set up.

Judy has been a valued member of my staff at my South Kensington Studio for over 12
years. Her full dedication and knowledge of Pilates is insurmountable.
She is able to teach any person from beginners to professional with total focus and
gain outstanding results.
Her patience and detail of the exercises that Judy has, I could not recommend her
more highly. She really is somebody who has very special teaching qualities.

‘I have known Judy Herbert for many years. In the Osteopathic work we have done

2. together she has brought her knowledge of her body from both her dance and Pilates
work to expand her understanding of body movement patterns. This has enabled her to
optimise her own healing possibilities.
She has brought this constant desire to understand what is going on in her own body
into her work allowing her to dramatically improve the work with her clients some of
whom we have had in common, making her, in my opinion, one of the foremost and
diligent Pilates practitioners in the country.

What a great discovery Judy Herbert and "gyrotonic, gyrokinesis" technique has been
for me!! The classes gave me a range of movement and space in the "midriff" area that
I had lost for many years!!!
As a bonus my posture improved and many of my aches and pains diminished or
disappeared! J
Judy is not only very knowledgeable but a great teacher. She is able to explain in
"laymen" terms what you're supposed to do...not a small feat for the 60 + crowd..Highly
recommended

Judy´s genius is a genuine treasure. Brilliant, dedicated and gifted at getting results.
After two years of stumbling around broken after a fall, two years of trying everything
anyone suggested Judy got me on track. She’ll change your life.

Thank you so much for your brilliant support in assisting me in resolving
my chronic low back pain.
In 2 weeks I will be celebrating my 67th birthday, and for the past 46 years
I was unsuccessfully dealing with daily moderate to severe low back pain.
X-rays revealed stenosis in my lumbar vertebra and a level 2 spondylothesis at L 5.
The orthopaedists for the NBA Houston Rockets, one of my clients at the time,
dejectedly told me “that looks pretty bad, there’s not much of anything you can do

3. about it,”
I certainly was not willing for that to be the final word in the matter. However, no matter
what therapies I tried, I could never experience any more than a little or at best
temporary improvement.
Until you!
In just the few sessions we were able to have together I have sustained over 50%
improvement and have even gone some days with little to no pain for several hours. I
continue doing 2 of the movement therapy routines you gave me and have ordered
the therapy “balls” you recommended.
I hope to stay in touch and arrange a trip across the pond soon to receive some more
of your excellent multifaceted expertise. I am confident that with a few more
refinements, I will be able to finally say that I am pain-free and fully functional.
You are a very talented and gifted professional. It is a wonderful experience to be
served by you.

I have very much enjoyed taking individual classes of Pilates and Gyrotonic with Judy
Herbert.
The classes were tailored to my needs and possibilities and changed as my needs
changed. Every care was taken by Judy to make sure I was comfortable and able to
do the exercises, which would improve posture and strength as well as keep muscles
and bones active to avoid arthritis and osteoarthritis from progressing, in as much as
possible.
Judy was always understanding and very careful with movements and personal
moods, which is so important.
I am very sorry to see her go but am sure she be able to help other people like myself
to keep as fit as possible.

During over a year I was privileged to work on my body with Judy Herbert through
Gyrokinesis. Having posture problems and a marked lumbar lordosis, she showed me
how to improve my posture and work on all my abdominal, pelvic and dorsal muscles
to improve these conditions. We worked on a one to one basis and not only did I
effectively become aware of where I had to correct posture but also managed to avoid
pain by using my muscles properly. This was a process I enjoyed thoroughly and with
the help of very dedicated work on Judy’s part have overcome my discomfort, stand
straight and in general free very elongated and flexible.
I can strongly recommend working with Judy. I am 58 and soon to retire and must
share this with other women in my age group who very often do not become aware of
the fact that discomfort or back pain is something we can forget about with a minimum
effort, a little exercise and lots of laughs.

4. ..."Last year while I was staying in Argentina I attended 8 one to one Gyrotonic
sessions with Judy, I found these sessions highly beneficial, with Judy tailoring
them specifically to my needs, I would highly recommend Judy as a teacher. I am
looking forward to her return to the UK and resuming the classes with her! Margaret

I am a UK trained physiotherapist and qualified Stott Pilates instructor. I began working
with Judy Herbert when I was training to be a Pilates instructor in 2008. I consider
myself to be very fortunate to have worked with her as she enhanced my
understanding of Pilates immensely. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about Pilates
and she is able to impart this knowledge in a very understandable way.
Her classes were always well planned and she made allowance for each individual in
the group. She paid great attention to detail when facilitating clients to improve their
movement patterns. Her one to one classes were always very challenging but she was
ready to change her plans if necessary.
Judy was continuously studying and increasing her knowledge about the
musculoskeletal system and how we move, which she then applied to her classes.
She was always cheerful and enthusiastic which contributed to her classes being very
good fun too. To sum up, I think she was dedicated to helping people get the best out
of their bodies, which she did extremely effectively.
