LOUIS G.
DUFOUR
Louis-Georges Dufour is a French-Canadian professional Figure Skating coach who created PYONIX, a new posture training aid for figure skaters, golfers, tennis players, hockey players, and ballerinas. Louis's creative journey began when he pondered different ways he could improve skating dynamics, aesthetics, spins, and jumps, in a sport where innovative training equipment is limited. PYONIX has now entered the mainstream world of posture training, is used by health specialists and can be found in many offices across Canada.
