Gyrokinesis
Benefits: increases awareness of one’s center,
challenges balance, aids digestive system, strengthens
spine
Gyrokinesis is the non-equipment, yogic version
of the Gyrotonic Expansion System. Utilizing
the same spiraling, arching, curling and rotational
motion patterns as Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis challenges
the client to perform without the assistance
of equipment. Gyrokinesis utilizes floor-work,
sitting on a stool and standing upright to engage
the client to find his or her own sense of resistance
and movement ability within space. Looks may
be deceiving, as this yoga form of exercise
may appear quite simple. However, Gyrokinesis
clients must be aware of their bodies at all
times while exerting themselves muscularly and
energetically, thus guiding them to achieve
balance, stability, mobility and strength.
