Renata Brandao

About

Renata Brandão, originally from Brazil, brings a global perspective, deep expertise, and radiant passion to her work in healing through movement.

A licensed Physiotherapist in Brazil, Renata spent over a decade working in hospital Intensive Care Units before opening her first Pilates and GYROTONIC® studio. That experience shaped her integrative approach — combining precision, care, and a profound understanding of the human body.

She holds Pilates certifications from Polestar Education and the PhysicalMind Institute, and advanced GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® certifications, including:

Level 1 & 2 GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, GYROTONER®, Leg Extension Unit (LEU®), and Jumping-Stretching Board®.

Renata is also a GYROTONIC® Pre-Trainer under Lisa Lansing, and continues to deepen her studies through ongoing advanced education.

For over 14 years, Renata directed a thriving studio in São Paulo, Brazil, leading a talented team of dancers, physical therapists, and movement educators. Her studio became known for its integrative approach to movement, rehabilitation, and performance—a trusted space for excellence and healing.

In 2014, Renata moved to the United States, where her passion for holistic healing took her even further. She traveled to India three times to study Ayurveda, earning certification in Ayurvedic Yoga Therapeutic Massage.

She is also a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) in the U.S., specializing in Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage and Ayurvedic Yoga Massage.

Renata’s continued education includes GYROTONIC® for Dancers and Therapeutic Applications by Uwe Herbstreit, further expanding her understanding of movement and body integration.

A lifelong yogi and devoted student of the human body, Renata offers sessions that are intuitive, grounded, and deeply restorative. Her compassionate presence creates a safe space for each client’s unique healing process—making every session not just a treatment, but an experience of genuine care.

She believes that Movement Heals. a global perspective, deep expertise, and radiant passion to her work in healing through movement.
