Philippa Esmonde-White

Pippa began her career as a professional ballet dancer in 1993. She went on to train in various teaching methods including Pilates, Hatha Yoga, Nia, Gyrokinesis® and Gyrotonic®. The Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic Methods are movement methods that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences.

She also trained in Authentic Thai massage and studied Somatic psychology, which is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses both psychotherapy and physical therapies for holistic healing. Pippa uses mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help release the pent-up tension that is negatively affecting physical and emotional wellbeing.

Pippa opened Body Sense Studio in 2012 in Kenilworth, where she offers personalised lessons to adults and teenagers. Individual sessions are given on the Cobra Pulley Tower, which provides the latest Gyrotonic® method available.

Body Sense Studio hosts regular yearly retreats in various picturesque venues surrounding Cape Town. Some of their past retreats have been focused on Women’s Wellness, Mother Daughter Connection, Elemental Medicine, Rejuvenation, Mindful Movement, Body Alignment, Fitness for Fun and Coming of Age Journeys.
She is passionate about dancing through life and finding a harmonious balance using breath and mindful movement, with light heartedness and joy.
