The GYROKINESIS®Method
Create functional strength through flowing movement sequences
Movement method for the whole body
The Gyrokinesis Method is a movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.
Getting Started
The Gyrokinesis Method is practiced in group or private classes with a qualified Gyrokinesis Trainer. Gyrokinesis mats, chairs and DVDs are available so that students can support their studio classes with a home practice.
Gyrokinesis classes begin on a chair with a gentle warm up sequence to awaken the senses, and stimulate the nervous system. This is followed by a series of fluid spinal motions which increase range of motion, and prepare the body to explore more complex movements with agility, and ease. Class continues on the floor with exercises that expand on the spinal motions, gradually adding more complex sequences, incorporating more movements of the hips, shoulders, hands and feet.
The floor exercises are followed by a rhythmic standing sequence that incorporates balance, and cardiovascular exercises; then ends with a calming, unwinding sequence designed to prepare the body and mind to reintegrate with the every day world.
For Everyone
Gyrokinesis classes are adapted to fit each student’s needs and abilities from those recovering from injury or living with a disability to elite athletes.
