Gyrokinesis by candlelight with Elizabeth Lindell for a group of 10 adults ($30/each) will be held on Friday, May 2, 2014 from 7-8pm at In-Spiraling Movement Arts Studio, 2001 S. Barrington Ave. Suite #112, Los Angeles, CA 90025. Loofah scrubbing during class (natural loofahs provided).

The Gyrokinesis method is a movement method that gently works 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 movement practice which has roots in Yoga, Tai Chi, gymnastics, and dance. Each class begins on a chair with a gentle warm up sequence to awaken the senses, and stimulate the nervous system. This is followed by a series of fluid spinal motions which increase range of motion, and prepare the body to explore more complex movements with agility, and ease.

Class continues on the floor with exercises that expand on the spinal motions, gradually adding more complex sequences, incorporating more movements of the hips, shoulders, hands and feet. The floor exercises are followed by a rhythmic standing sequence that incorporates balance, and cardiovascular exercises; then ends with a calming, unwinding sequence designed to prepare the body and mind to reintegrate with the every day world.
