Class Description:
This class is an innovative system of exercise
that
incorporates other movement principles from Yoga,
dance,
gymnastics, swimming and Tai Chi. Gyrotonic® and
Gyrokinesis® stretch and strengthen muscles while
simultaneously
stimulating connective tissues in and around the
joints of
the
body by using circularity, spiraling and undulating
movement. Educate the body to utilize harmonious
movements and cultivate energy flow with
synchronized
breathing
patterns, creating a spherical and three-dimensional
awareness.
