CHRISTIAN TWIGG, Awaken Pilates and Gyrotonic
GYROKENISIS
GYROKINESIS® exercises work on the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement. This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating movements that stimulate the body's internal organs while corresponding breathing patterns are integrated along with the movements. Postures are not held for long periods of time but are instead smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, making exercises feel more like a dance and swimming than like traditional yoga.
