What is GYROKINESIS®?

What is GYROKINESIS®? Is a question I get asked whenever I tell people what I do. So I thought I'd try to explain in a bit more detail.

The official definition is as follows.
"The Gyrokinesis Method is the sister method to the Gyrotonic 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. This method is practiced on stools and either Gyrokinesis mats or yoga mats. Which makes it ideal for group fitness classes or to be experienced in a workshop/master class."

To try and say this in simpler terms, this method is great for creating better awareness of the body and building up the functional motions that happen in everyday life. Such as bending over to tie your shoes or reaching up for an object on a high shelf. It can also be used to build coordination and range of motion to improve technique in various sports or other moving arts.

In short the Gyrokinesis method is a full body movement method and can provide a number of benefits to many different people when practiced regularly.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions about the Gyrokinesis method! If you have any other questions feel free to email me at jess@shadowofadancer.com
