GYROKINESIS® Pre-Training Course

On Core Studio
Makawao, Hawaii, Maui

with
GYROKINESIS® Master Trainer
Virginia Holte

October 2-7, 2011

Cost: $550 for the course and $200 studio fee

For students interested in deepening their understanding of the GYROKINESIS® Methodology, or for those interested in becoming Certified GYROKINESIS® Instructors.
This course is the first step and prerequisite to attend a GYROKINESIS® Foundation Course.

A typical GYROKINESIS® class begins with participants practicing self-massage and simple breathing patterns, something GYROKINESIS® creator, Juliu Horvath has named, "Awakening of the Senses." Then the spine and pelvis are engaged through simple exercises: while seated on low stools, participants mobilize the spine through a series of arching, curling, bending, twisting and spiraling movements. The corresponding breathing patterns executed during every movement stimulate the nervous system, open up the energy pathways and oxygenate the blood. All GYROKINESIS® classes, from beginner to advanced, encompass not only sitting but also lying and standing positions. Successful Completion of Course will allow the Candidate a “passport” to take the GYROKINESIS® Foundation Course.
