About the Class

The class will focus on the Gyrokinesis method. Gyrokinesis is a movement method that was created by ballet dancer Juliu Horvath in the 1980’s to cope with injuries from dancing. Therefore the focus is about moving in circular and spiraling movements to avoid compression in the joints, which is very accessible to movers of all levels. This method is influenced by a range of practices like qi gong, tai chi, yoga, swimming, and dance to fully enhance our mind/body connection.

Classes begin sitting on a stool with self-massage and spinal motion sequences along specific breathing patterns. The class continues with movement sequences on the floor and standing. You will learn how to relieve pressure in the joints, move and mobilize tight areas, and find strength and length simultaneously to provide better support for the whole body. 

The aim of this class is to explore the benefits of movement and self-care and how movement can enhance both our mental and physical wellbeing. This is also a chance to explore areas and sequences that resonate with you the most that you can begin, or continue, into your daily life to normalize and support your wellbeing needs.

What we will cover:

• How this method can enhance self awareness
• A deeper look at the anatomical body for injury reduction
• A chance to release held areas to regulate the nervous system
• Attention to inner dialogue

What you’ll have to take away:

• Sequences for home practice
• Tips for integrating this practice into your everyday
• A friendly post workshop follow up
