GYROKINESIS®

GYROKINESIS® exercise is a complete movement system, for all levels and ages, and can be applied to a variety of situations, as one needs very little equipment. It incorporates many key principles from yoga, dance, swimming, and Tai Chi. The class begins with the practitioner seated on a low stool and begins with simple breathing patterns to awaken the body. He or she mobilizes the spine and joints through a series of arching, curling, undulation and spiraling movements. The corresponding breathing patterns in every movement help to stimulate the nervous system and open up energy pathways. Rhythm, movement, & breath are the key elements of this system accessible for all fitness levels.

This class begins seated on a stool utilizing small movements of the spine which are circular or spiral in look and feel. Using breath, rhythm and pulsating movements to gently open the spine and joints, massage internal organs, stretches muscles, nerves, tendons and increases an overall sense of well being. Respiratory strength, a release of tension, detoxification with specific breathing patterns, and profound core body strength are among the benefits of a regular practice. Additionally, it helps to develop and brings a deeper awareness to one’s authentic self. Small Group Setting of 3 – 6 students.
