introduction to the gyrokinesis method (90 minute format)
Ocean Yoga Studio, costa da caparica
€15
Gyrokinesis is a movement method that was created by ballet dancer Juliu Horvath in the 1980’s to cope with injuries from dancing. Therefore the focus is about moving in circular and spiraling movements to avoid compression in the joints, which is very accessible to movers of all levels. This method is influenced by a range of practices like qi gong, tai chi, yoga, swimming, and dance to fully enhance our mind/body connection.
Classes begin sitting on a stool with self-massage and spinal motion sequences along specific breathing patterns. The class continues with movement sequences on the floor and standing. You will learn how to relieve pressure in the joints, move and mobilize tight areas, and find strength and length simultaneously to provide better support for the whole body.
Agenda:
Introduction / brief history of the Gyrokinesis method
Part 1: spinal motions and breathing patterns
Part 2: floor and standing work
Questions / sharing
