GYROKINESIS® exercises are related to GYROTONIC® exercises, but no equipment is used. This class invigorates and re-educates the body to move with fluidity, relaxation and power. Systematically and gently work the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating exercises. Movement stimulates the body's internal organs and different corresponding breathing patterns are integrated. Fluidity is the key. Postures are not held for long periods of time. Instead, postures are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, making exercises appear and feel more like a dance than traditional yoga. Famous ballet dancers who practice(d) GYROTONIC® regularly: Alessandra Ferri (American Ballet Theatre), Susan Jaffe (ABT), Maurya Kerr (Lines Contemporary Ballet -- actually, most of Lines Contemporary Ballet dancers and many members of the San Francisco Ballet.... 70-minute class. $13 pay as you go. $48/month (check to see if your class will be held every week before signing up for this option).
