Slow Flow/Beginner GYROKINESIS® class (led by Anne Howe): Starting Monday, June 2nd!
Most Mondays @ 5:30pm starting Monday, June 2nd.
This class is a movement class for people who are new to movement and / or new to GYROKINESIS® exercise and people who want to improve their posture and strength. We will work softly and slowly building core strength using the principals of the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Methods of engagement. We will be finding the deep intrinsic muscles of the body slowly, step by step to find our bodies’ engagement strength. Then we will add spinal movements, breath and choreography to that engagement creating a flowing movement sequence. The class will take place on stools, standing and occasionally on the floor.
Intermediate GYROKINESIS® class (led by Anne Howe):
Wednesdays @ 5:30pm.
Gyrokinesis class begin seated on stools. We start slowly with flexion and extension of the spine along with arm movements adding the breath - creating a cadence and rhythm. We move on to spinal rotation, then side bending and arm movements plus breath. Following with circular spinal movement or circumduction and finally combining all the spinal motions to create waves. A truly yummy and juicy flowing warm up!
Now that the spine and upper body are warmed up, the legs and abdominals are added into the mix to prime us for the floor work. We shift onto the mat adding stretching and strengthening sequences to continue connecting the lower body and pelvis to the spine and upper body.
As we continue our movement journey through our whole being we finish our class standing, breathing and winding down from our experience of the movements. This class connects all of the elements of our body systems into a journey of flowing movements - we don’t hold postures for lengths of time. You are left with a blissful and meditative state of being.
Gyrokinesis exercise is both a physical workout and a meditative, flowing experience. Focusing on connecting the breath, the movements, and body awareness throughout the class journey helps create that deep sense of flow and relaxation. It’s like a dance for the whole body, but with a strong grounding in functional movement.
