GYROKINESIS®
Often referred to as yoga in motion, the GYROKINESIS® method is the mat work of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. Taught in group class format, the curriculum is rhythmic and fluid, much like a dance or yoga class.
However, unlike traditional yoga there is no postural holding, instead sequences and movements alternate between seated stool work, floor work, and standing work. Taught in 60 or 90 minutes sessions, students awaken their nervous systems, open energy pathways, and increase blood flow throughout the body, leaving class feeling a renewed sense of vitality.
GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a total-body conditioning and balancing system designed to gently work the joints and muscles of the body.The system’s unique movement signature is its three-dimensional approach to exercise. The method systematically teaches gentle and repetitive circling, spiraling and undulating exercises, which simultaneously stretch, strengthen and elongate muscles while decompressing joints.
Each exercise emphasizes energetic opposition helping to improve internal balance and support. Through the constant ebb-and-flow and push-and-pull of the exercises, the connective tissues are massaged increasing range of motion in the body.
Exercises are executed using specially crafted equipment that is designed with total regard to fluidity and freedom of movement. The turbulence-free GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® equipment guides the body with resistance along circular pathways that nurtures natural three-dimensional movement.
The Gyrotonic Method is practiced in group or private classes under the instruction of one of our qualified GYROTONIC® instructors.
