Julianna Nagy became a certified GYROTONIC® instructor in 2006. As a child and young adult she studied gymnastics and ballet intensively and performed in in various Boston Ballet productions, including Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, Onegin, Swan Lake, the Nutcracker, and in modern dance productions. While still a dancer, she began studying Gyrotonic exercise as cross-training and immediately noticed its positive effects on her dancing and physical wellbeing. Through her own personal practice over the years, she has found Gyrotonic exercise to be an incredible tool for building strength and flexibility, increasing efficiency of movement, and for preventing or rehabilitating injuries.

In addition to obtaining her Level 1 GYROTONIC® certification, she has completed additional training in the Gyrotonic certification Ladder and GYROTONER®, as well as the Level 2 pre-training and GYROKINESIS® Level 1 Foundation Course. She has also taken the Gyrotonic therapeutic applications workshop focused on injuries and disorders related to the pelvic girdle. 

Juliana is also a certified yoga instructor (RYT-200) and has studied extensively with one of Washington, DC’s top yoga instructors, Gopi Kinnicutt. She is also certified in Pilates Mat through Power Pilates. She also works in international development and holds a master’s degree from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.

She is grateful to all her teachers who have passed down their knowledge and helped shape who she has become as a teacher, including: Kathy Van Patten, Juergen Bamberger, Sebastian Plettenberg, Justine Bernard, Gopi Kinnicutt, Tatiana Legat, Rebecca Rice, among others.
