GYROTONIC

The Gyrotonic method is a unique movement practice with roots in yoga, tai chi and dance. Gyrotonic exercise sequences performed on equipment, are composed of spiraling, circular movements, which flow together in rhythmic repetitions and corresponding breath. With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility. Embody Minneapolis is a full-service Gyrotonic studio, offering private and semi-private sessions by appointment. The studio has the following specialized equipment:

Pulley Tower

Jumping Stretch Board

Gyrotoner

Leg Extension Unit

Archway

GYROKINESIS

The Gyrokinesis Method is a movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method that coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.

The Gyrokinesis Method is practiced on a mat and chair without equipment. Without the feedback and guidance of equipment, participants in a Gyrokinesis class are more dependent on their own proprioception to explore movement sequences.
