INTRODUCTION GYROKINESIS® method

People from all walks of life take Gyrokinesis classes, including accomplished professional dancers, fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, and people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability.

The Gyrokinesis method coordinates movement, breath and mental focus to address the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. We explore our possibilities and limitations from our comfort zone, using yawning sensation as a stretch quality. The sensation after a Gyrokinesis class is relaxed, yet fully energized. You will most likely feel taller, with a greater sense of balance, as well as increased tonicity, mobility, and elasticity. 

This class will introduce you to the principles of the method with chair, standing and floor exercises. The aim of this session is to give you a taste of what the Gyrokinesis experience is. You will also be able to extract some tools to explore your daily movements and activities, with a different perspective.  

The classes are made possible through a collaboration  between Dansalliansen, Kulturakademin and Danscentrum Väst and open for professional dancers.
