Gyrokinesis

Gyrokinesis Awakening of the senses and stimulation of the nervous system Gyrokinesis is a safe and systematic learning process developed by Julio Horvath, a gymnast, ballet dancer, and swimmer. Through his recovery from multiple injuries he created the system. The exercises integrate key principles of Yoga, Tai Chi and dance while being an original system. The class starts with waking up series continuing into spinal work on the chairs. The exercises are performed through spherical awareness and circularity of movement enabling the user to perform under permanent guidance and controlled resistance. Each of the exercises is synchronized with a corresponding breathing pattern or forceful cardiovascular aerobic stimulation. Once the spine and nervous system are prepared to support the limbs circular arm and leg movements are added. As the muscle tone and body awareness increase more advanced exercises are performed. The class offers stretching and strengthening exercises focusing on functional capacity of the spine thereby developing a greater of awareness and openess of the entire instrument.
