Background
The precursor to the GYROTONIC® Method. Originally created by Juliu Horvath to adhere his dance injuries AKA ‘Yoga for Dancers’ in the 1980’s. It then developed even further to the GYROKINESIS® Method.
The Method
Classes often begin on a stool with spinal mobilizations or self-massage, focusing on alignment within movement. The student learns basic principles such as narrowing the pelvis and the arch and curl to create expansive full-bodied movements, while creating space in the joints.
Who is it for?
For those wanting to take their dance and/or fitness practice to the next level, find release in tight/ overused muscles, strengthen weaker/ less used areas, enhance body awareness…the list could go on.
