A physical force since birth, Danielle Litman earned the nickname “The Hulk” after breaking a few walls (and noses) as a baby. Danielle’s parents enrolled her in dance and gymnastics at age two, looking for a more constructive outlet for her endless energy. Over the years Danielle became very competitive in both, traveling the world winning many accolades and awards.

At age seven, Danielle dislocated her elbow while playing football in the street but told her dad she had just slipped. When the truth came out, Danielle’s football days were put on hold and she shifted her focus to tennis. She went on to become Pittsburgh High School City Champion three years in a row and placed in the Israeli Maccabi (Olympics). Danielle also competed in high school track and field, excelling in hurdles, 100-meter dash and the long jump.

Danielle studied Dance at the University of Arizona and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Marketing then continued her education in Musical Theatre at Carnegie Mellon University. Danielle’s passion for sports brought her to Los Angeles to work in sports radio while earning a degree in Graphic Design. She loved Gyrotonic®—but worked full-time—so she practiced during her lunch hour and trained on weekends to get certified.

Now a full-time Gyrotonic® & Gyrokinesis® Instructor, certified esthetician (and captain of her co-ed rec. football team), Danielle has found her true calling healing and helping people. “Teaching Gyrotonic® has taught me how to interact with the physical being though movement,” Danielle says. “I love the way Gyrotonic® helps people in all aspects of life.” Danielle’s unique background has given her many intangible qualifications like resourcefulness, insight, creativity, adaptability and a strong, honest work ethic that elevate her a cut above the rest!
