I have had many Gyrotonic lessons in the past 10 years and tried several different instructors in 3 different cities in Asia. I generally liked the exercise more than pilates as it is more than just 2-dimensional work. Then, I met Sam Lun of Ido Studio who opened the door to the next level of Gyrotonic exercise that upgraded my lifestyle tremendously.

She may be the youngest instructor I have had yet her knowledge of Gyrotonic methods and functional movement is just phenomenal. This is my 3rd year doing Gyrotonic with Sam and I now have a better posture, better awareness of my body & better bodily functions and movements.

I have scoliosis so spine health and balanced movements are crucial for me to live a quality life and Sam has done wonders for me. My weekly Gyrotonic with Sam allows me to enjoy playing tennis and golf regularly without much pain.

Most instructors I have had in the past can show me the beautiful movements so I can mimic the choreography of them, but Sam teaches me “how to” achieve the movements that are tailored to my own range of motion. This is important as everyone has different ranges of motion and understanding of movements. Sam is incredibly patient and genuinely cares about her client’s body & health.

Words cannot describe how she can help one to achieve better flexibility while strengthening muscles. I highly recommend anyone to try a few sessions with Sam and just listen to what the body tells you.

I have been taking Gyrotonic classes under Samantha since 2019. As I dance, I was looking for a gyro studio that not only offers me the mechanics of practicing Gyrotonic correctly but also helps me to be more efficient and better in my dancing.

Idō and Samantha definitely exceeded my expectation on these fronts. I particularly would like to commend Samantha for her patience and dedication in teaching me. Despite her young age, she is very knowledgeable and freely shares what she knows. She has definitely helped me to be more aware of my body. My strength and flexibility also improved.

I would strongly recommend Idō to anyone who would like to experience the Gyrotonic movement method. The lovely ambiance of the well-equipped studio is another plus too.

I started Gyrotonic classes in December 2021. In a short few months, I have noticed a significant difference in the way I move and feel; be it during exercise, or simply in my day-to-day life. Sam is incredibly patient, compassionate, and helpful, making classes an enjoyable and enriching time. I have scoliosis, but since starting Gyrotonic, my last x-ray has shown that my curvature has reduced by over 10°. I owe this largely due to the nature and practice of Gyrotonic itself, but also to Sam’s expertise and guidance. Gyrotonic is my absolute favorite part of my week, and I look forward to every session!

My private trainer is Edna. I’ve been under her training since July 2022. I tried Gyrotonic lessons to loosen the stiffness in my body muscles. I have been limping because of a bulging disc pressing against the nerve on my spinal cord. As months went by, I see some significant improvements in my walking. It helped in the decompression on my lower back. Edna has the passion and patience in her coaching during the classes with her. She's very observant and attentive and correct me during the lessons.
