About

Owner and GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® Specialized Master Trainer, Lisa Lansing, has enjoyed a lifetime of movement, dancing and teaching.  Originally from Seattle, Lisa has lived in several US states (WA, CA, MN, WI, NM) and in Europe (Edinburgh, Scotland; Aerdenhout, Nederland) but now resides in Cleveland, Ohio.  

As a Movement Educator, Lisa owns and operates Inspiral Motion, a movement arts and energy center, formerly GYROTONIC® Cleveland.  Lisa has been teaching movement and dance since 1986, Pilates since 1998 and the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® since 2002.  Today she is a GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Specialized Master Trainer and her studio celebrates 20 years in business on September 5, 2024!

As a Master Level Trainer and Educator for the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, she travels around the world either updating her Master Level requirements or educating others on this remarkable system. Like many dancers in the GYROTONIC® community from the Pacific Northwest, Lisa was originally a student of Magali Messac (former owner/founder of GYROTONIC® Seattle), who provided Lisa with a rich foundation of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, its technique, energetic healing powers and philosophy.  Lisa studied with Magali for several years before studying directly with founder, Juliu Horvath and other incredible first + second generation educators in the system. 

Inspiral Motion is known as "Inspiral" in Cleveland and was incorporated in September 2004 and moved into its current location in 2006.  Inspiral is a boutique-style studio servicing around 200 people who make up the unique and diverse Inspiral Community. Our GYROTONIC® staff post COVID consists of Lisa Lansing, Sarah Shemory (on Maternity Leave), Miriam Sovrizal, Felise Bagley, Renata Brandao, Denise Harris, and Devyn Etling.  Renata is also our in house Massage Therapist.  We also have 5 Pilates instructors, 1 studio manager, a full-time studio assistant and interns - all goddesses and gods - who run our collaborative studio.

Before Inspiral, Lisa owned Pilates Mom, a regional award-winning Pilates program for pre- and post- natal women in Cleveland which she started within a year after relocating from Europe to Cleveland. 

Lisa fell in love with the Gyrotonic system because of the energetic aspects of the work.  Because these aspects are somewhat hidden, Lisa has immersed herself in the world of healing and energy.  She is an Energy Lightworker and Functional Medicine Coach! Her qualifications include Advanced Shamanic Energy Practitioner, Certified Crystal Healer, a Reiki Master, Sound Healer, meditation and mindfulness coach, as well as an Empath and reader.  She conducts private and group Energy Medicine sessions for clients next door in her energy studio, Coral Poppy. In 2024, Lisa finished a Functional Medicine certification and is now a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDNP). She can run labs on people to see how far they have strayed from function, and creates protocols in the areas of diet, rest, exercise, stress-reduction and supplementation to restore function and reduce interference toward homeostasis.

Inspiral Motion is more than a Gyrotonic studio, it's an Energy Center!

"What a thrill that every day, I do what I love - move and work with energy!  Be inspired!  Do what moves you!!" ~ Lisa
