ClydeRae Jolie-Ashe

Rippling, pulsing, spiraling, swinging, spinning, flipping, gliding, rolling, bounding, undulating—alive in movement, Clyde Rae is a dancer, a singer, a grandmother, a bodyworker, and a movement educator.

She teaches the GYROTONIC Expansion System in private lessons and small group classes on the GYROTONIC Pulley Tower and Handle Unit, the Ladder, and the Leg Extension Unit. The Jumping Stretching Board will be added in April 2006. Clyde Rae also teaches GYROKINESIS classes, the GYROTONIC Therapeutic Approach, and is a Pre-trainer for GYROTONIC. Lessons and classes pleasurably restore and enhance strength, flexibility, grace, and harmony. Her students include athletes and dancers, pregnant women, mothers and children, seniors, people recovering from surgeries, illness, and accidents, including those with mild to moderate brain injury.

Clyde Rae’s teaching is innovative, compassionate, and fueled by curiosity about the nature of being. How is our world shaped by how we move?
