Deanna D'Alfonso
“There are few things that are more fascinating than the human body in motion.”

My name is Deanna D’Alfonso.  I have always led a physically active life. Through my endeavors, including: competitive swimming, tennis, yoga, Pilates and Alpine/Telemark skiing I have acquired a taste for safe, efficient and intelligent movement.

 In 2001 I made the move from Chicago’s corporate world into the Movement Arts world of Vail to pursue the connection between my body and mind. Around the same time I began teaching skiing at Vail Resorts. In 2005 my interests in Pilates and Yoga led me to Gyrotonic®.  I continue to train and share my passion for movement through teaching Gyrotonic® at The Movement Studio.
