About 

Hi! I am Masha, the founder of mashrooom. My journey as a certified GYROTONIC® trainer began in June 2021, after ten years of passionate personal practice of the GYROTONIC® method. In September 2024, I fulfilled a long held dream and opened my own studio - a space for deepened body awareness, conscious breathing, and personal growth.  

​

Prior to becoming a GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® trainer, I had a career as a professional ballet dancer with world renowned companies including the Wiener Staatsballett, the Hamburg Ballett John Neumeier, and Ballett am Rhein. Throughout my dance career, I experienced severe back and ankle injuries. The GYROTONIC® method not only supported my recovery but helped me grow even stronger than before. 

 

Experiencing firsthand how transformative the GYROTONIC® method can be, I decided to become a certified trainer to share the benefits with others. What I love most about the GYROTONIC® method is that it can be adapted to everyone’s individual needs – there is no competition, no pressure, just pure joy of movement. The focus on breath in tandem with movement enhances  proprioception and helps to clear the mind. 

​

Alongside my work as a trainer, I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Psychotherapy Science. I deeply believe that body and mind are inseparable, and that true well-being arises when both are nurtured. In my studio, I aim to create a space where people feel safe, supported, and respected - allowing authentic, personal transformation to unfold naturally and at its own pace. 

 

The GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods are truly for everyone. I look forward to welcoming you at mashrooom – your new favorite studio in Vienna!
