What is Gyrokinesis?
Gyrokinesis is the foundation of the Gyrotonic Expansion System. This movement method works the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing flexibility, and building functional strength through rhythmic, flowing sequences. Originally known as "Yoga for Dancers," this fluid movement style gained popularity among dancers and movement professionals in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Today, Gyrokinesis has spread to over 80 countries, with more than 10,000 certified teachers worldwide.
It's also widely used in physical rehabilitation settings, including clinics, hospitals, and performance enhancement centers. This unique method integrates movement, breath, and mental focus. Practiced on a mat and chair, Gyrokinesis requires no specialized equipment, making participants more reliant on their own kinesthetic awareness to explore and execute the movement sequences.
