Synopsis
1) Participants are strongly encouraged to sign up for both Session 1 on November 6 & Session 2 on November 20 for enhanced experiential learning.
2) Dress comfortably in clothing that allows freedom of movement.
Edna's first encounter with the Gyrotonic movement method was in 2008. After experiencing tightness and mobility issues post-surgery, her ballet teacher recommended she try the Gyrotonic method, and she has been hooked on it since.
In 2019, Edna crossed path with Samantha Lun after the latter returned from her overseas study (both went to the same commercial dance studio) and was very excited to further her Gyrotonic practice under Samantha. In 2021, Edna left the corporate world and took a leap of faith to pursue her passion in movement practice under the mentorship of Samantha Lun and Rita Renha.
Edna is also an avid Qigong practitioner and dances classical ballet weekly. She enjoys helping people from all walks of life and strongly believes that the Gyrotonic movement method is particularly effective in the area of rehabilitation, spinal health, and overall improvement of strength and mobility. Having experienced the first-hand benefits of this system, Edna is keen to share this method with everyone so that they can be equipped with skills to move with strength, control and fluidity.

IN MEMORY OF A loving husband, a role model to his children, a selfless best friend, is what he was. His battle with cancer had been nothing but him fighting it with his resilience & determination. PCC & CanHope had brought him joy. I will remember his journey and pass it on. I’M A SURVIVOR My name is Andi and I'm a cancer survivor.Back in 2004 when I was 16 yo, I was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma, it was at the right side of my buttock. Surgery, radiation and also chemotherapy was done at that time. Then in 2009 it relapsed around the same area. In 2022 it relapsed on my right thigh, and again in 2024 it relapsed this time on my left thigh with different type of cancer. Be thankful to GOD, and always believe that He is able to heal us and help us.

Karri Hammond IN MEMORY OF Papa, although you’ve passed on 7 years you are still fondly remembered. You’ve taught me many things eg being brave to drive on the road when I got my driving licence and keeping the family together especially during your last stage of life. The many weekends and days that we spent visiting you at the hospice and nursing home helped to bring our family closer. Appreciating family relationships and a good bonding time for all of us. May you be well and happy. 🌷 Papa Chua CT IN MEMORY OF Thanks for all the memories! You are a warrior! IN HONOUR OF You fought hard my dear. You did well!
