1) Posture & Alignment
Proper alignment is the main influence that helps to improve posture. Lengthening the spine, and strengthening the core take pressure off the lower back not only alleviating back pain, but supporting proper poster. Finding counterbalance through gravity in Gyrotonic motion ultimately improves spinal health and posture.
Holding the body in better alignment for longer longer periods of time, will cultivate spine stability and receptivity. Both Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercises support long term postural changes as their workouts address and support every part of the body.
2) Breath Focus & Relaxation
What better way to nourish your body than oxygen? Synchronizing breath within movement helps to move energy and reduce stagnation within the body. Deep and long exhales help truly connect to the body, and from the breath movement flows. Breath focus, either gentle and deep, rhythmic, or more intense are connected to various types of spiraling, curling, and arching Gyrotonic movements. This coordinated conscious relationship with the breath in a Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis practice can be quite relaxing.
3) Coordination & Flexibility
Coordination is key when it comes to excelling the circular movements required in Gyrotonic exercises. Gyrotonic exercises move the body in all directions with many focusing on spinal rotation. The movements help to open up the body and also find optimum range of motion. The fluid movements during a workout help one experience every body part leading to more flexibility, strength, body awareness, and the opening of energetic pathways.
4) Accessibility & Practice
Through repeated practice, I believe you will be pleasantly surprised by how much better and healthier you will feel. Online training makes Gyrotonic work more accessible than ever!
Promoting good posture, coordination of breath, elevated flexibility and relaxation lead to overall improved health! Call for a free consult or join my complimentary class offered Sunday, December 6th. Hope to see you soon!
