The fluid movements of the GYROKINESIS® system emphasize breath, articulation, balance, inner core, body awareness, and lengthening. It wakes the whole body and mind, and brings renewed energy, flexibility, strength, and confidence. It is practiced while seated on stools, standing, and laying on the floor. Without the feedback and guidance of equipment, participants in a Gyrokinesis class are more dependent on their own proprioception to explore movement sequences.
Somatic practice uses repeated movements, breath awareness and rhythmic patterns to loosen joints and ease muscle tension.
According to K. Sakamoto, Unipedal standing captures the 2.75 times weight load to the femoral head. Unipedal standing for one minute is equivalent to the amount of integral load gained through walking for approximately 53 minutes.
