Rowan Williams
Rowan's journey with the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® began within the Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA Program, where its therapeutic benefits proved instrumental in her recovery from a chronic injury. Inspired by this transformative experience, she pursued her GYROTONIC® certification under the guidance of Master Trainer Debra Rose, further enhancing her expertise with certification on the Jumping-Stretching Board.

Beyond her role as a trainer, Rowan shares her passion for dance as a teacher and freelance professional dancer in the Bay Area. Thrilled to share her love for this movement practice, she is honored to be a part of the Movement For Everyone trainer team.
