WEDNESDAY's 9am- LYRICAL FLOW:  EMBODYING YOUR ESSENCE THROUGH MOVEMENT.  STARTING FEB 9th - 6 week Term - Open for Casual bookings if spacing permits. Booking Link Coming

"In this class we will gently unwind from our daily concerns and activities, creating space to become present. We will explore different ways of fine-tuning our awareness and “felt sense” of how energy flows through our bodies discovering our own unique expression of mindfully moving our bodies...listening, following, and allowing movement to emerge from a core essence within ourselves. 

We will use different resources to release tension, increase energy flow and find more confidence in moving our bodies with fluidity and freedom,  where you can simply be yourself and feel empowered through movement, developing a deeper trust and connection with your body’s own wisdom."

FRIDAY's 12.30pm RELAX & REJUVENATE - Based on the GYROKINESIS® METHOD. Starting FEB 11th -6 week Term - Open for Casual bookings if spacing permits. Booking Link Coming

Gyrokinesis® was developed by Juliu Horvath and is established world-wide.

Horvath, a Romanian-born dancer, who defected from the communist regime to the U.S. in 1970, joined the Houston Ballet when a serious injury interrupted his dance career in his 20s. He retreated to the mountains of the Virgin Islands to study yoga intensely and developed this unique method which combines elements of Tai Chi, Yoga and dance. He initially termed it “yoga for dancers”,  but growing demand saw him refine and develop the program so that anyone could take part and he renamed it to the more universal 'Gyrokinesis'.

Our class begins with self-massage to release tension and awaken the senses, followed by slow, fluid movements seated on stools. The exercises stretch and mobilise the spine, joints and whole body before a series of standing or floor exercises. Similar to Tai Chi, the breathing and movement patterns flow together and support each other.  

The focus is on freeing up tension through circular, flowing movements. resulting in a feeling of rejuvenation, increased vitality and well-being.

Done to music the class is both gentle and rhythmic, at a pace to suit participants whether young or old, from all walks of life. 

"Relax and Rejuvenate" classes will help you to free up tension and restrictions, and encourage listening to your body developing more awareness and freedom of movement. Classes will culminate in a freestyle movement/dance exploration.
