About

Darcy Lyons has been a mover since age seven when she started dancing. She graduated with a B.F.A in dance from California Institute of the Arts and is a choreographer, producer, and performer in Philadelphia. She has a project based dance theater company called Lyons and Tigers. Darcy is grateful that she started learning Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic as a teenager. She received her Gyrotonic Level 1 Certification in early 2013 and successfully completed the Gyrotonic Level 2, Program 1 and Gyrotonic Level 2, Program 2 courses. Additionally, she has taken Gyrotonic Applications for Shoulder Girdle, Gyrotonic Applications for Osteoporosis, Gyrotonic Applications for the Faschial Body and Gyrotonic for Runners. She is a Gyrokinesis Apprentice. Darcy received her comprehensive Pilates apparati and mat certification through Drexel Pilates in 2016. In March 2018 she completed the Movement Science Made Simple Course called Look, Listen, Push, Pull: Training Freedom and Support in the Head, Neck, and Shoulders taught by Cara Reeser and Jeremy Laverdure. As a teacher, Darcy places importance on breath, detail, precision, kindness, passion, creativity and, of course, having a sense of humor. She is interested in working with all teen and adult populations at any movement level and physical ability in both Pilates, Gyrotonic, and Gyrokinesis.
