Sandia Spirals brings you GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®

What is GYROTONIC®?

GYROTONIC® training is an equipment-based method of exercise and movement that is designed to work at all levels of training from athletic enhancement, safe and proficient movement for the aging, and every level of movement in between.  This method uses principles from many different methods of movement but is unique in its own ability to change negative movement patterns within the body and give grace and fluidity to movement.  This equipment system was built and continues to evolve around natural movements of the human body. The movements work the body through different three dimensional planes of flexing, extending, bending, twisting and spiraling of the spine. Each series of exercises addresses total fluidity and freedom of movement without restriction to speed.  Full body circular movement patterns are performed, on the patented GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, creating uniform organization throughout the body, emphasizing full-body joint articulations without compression and compaction to the skeleton.  Every circular motion enhances coordination, strength and flexibility.

What is GYROKINESIS®?

This method of rhythmic "spinal yoga" incorporates movement of arching, curling, bending, twisting and spiraling of the spine. This group class is derived as a non-equipment component of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® equipment. The work begins in a sitting position on comfortable stools and progresses through movements that stimulate the body methodically to move further into standing work, floor work and balance.  Breath patterns that correspond with the three dimensional movements help to stimulate the nervous system, open up energy pathways and oxygenate the blood. The rhythm and flow of movements are used to invigorate and re-educate the body to move with fluidity, relaxation, efficiency and power. Each time you move through a class, there is a feeling of just having done a dance throughout the entire body that creates a sense of energy from the inside out.  The spine is used in all planes of movement to educate the body for deep muscular organization.
