Movement as a way home.

Hi, I’m Heidi.

Born and raised in Taiwan, I spent many years training in classical Chinese dance, beginning at age five. Dance was my first love, my first vocation at sixteen, and the lens through which I came to understand both the world and myself. It taught me to listen to the body, appreciate nuance, and find meaning through movement.

Discovering GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC® in 2014 opened an entirely new relationship with movement. Instead of focusing on moving better, I began enjoying movement more. Through these methods and other somatic practices, I felt more connected to my body, more supported by my breath, and more appreciative of what my body could do in each season of life.

That experience changed me. It continues to shape how I teach, how I think about health and well-being, how I connect with other people and share our presence, and how I approach movement today.

Old Town Spirals grew from a desire to share the practices that helped me reconnect with movement, not as something to perfect, but as something to explore, enjoy, and return to again and again. My hope is to create a welcoming space where people can move with curiosity, discover new possibilities in their bodies, and experience greater ease, confidence, and joy along the way.
