the GYRokinesis® method
The GYROKINESIS® method is performed sitting, standing and in reclining positions, mobilising the whole body fluidly and gently, both strenghtening and stretching the entire muscular and nervous system with a series of arching, curling and spiraling movements .
One works the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement: forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist, right twist and circular. Fluidity is the key. Postures are not held for long periods of time. Instead, postures are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, making exercises appear and feel more like dance or swimming.
Those who practice the GYROKINESIS® method tend to be more relaxed in their daily lives and can move with increased flexibility and ease.
