GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Master Trainer
Dance Artist

About me

 

I am a London based Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Master Trainer, movement teacher and dance artist. I’ve had an extensive career in movement and dance, performing internationally both in dance companies and as a freelance artist. Over the years I’ve been involved at all levels: as a dancer, helping devise work collaboratively, assisting choreographers, and as a choreographer myself. Even before dancing, I moved: as a gymnast, martial artist, diver.

I’ve always been passionately curious about the body in motion, and bring this enquiry, my evolving personal practice, and a desire to delve deeper to my teaching.  My approach is experiential, considering the anatomy of breath, and is strongly influenced by studies in the anatomy of movement, and an understanding of the fascial body.

I am certified on all the Gyrotonic specialised equipment, as well as in its therapeutic applications with relation to osteopathy, the psoas, the shoulder girdle, scoliosis, the pelvic girdle, and pre and post hip replacement.

As well as the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods, my regular movement practices include Contact Improvisation (which I teach), sport climbing and yoga.

The GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Methods

The GYROTONIC® Method

 

The Gyrotonic Method is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire person by opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency. With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.

The Gyrotonic Method utilises specialised equipment to guide, assist, and challenge the exerciser.

People from all walks of life take Gyrotonic classes, including fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, accomplished athletes, and people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability. Gyrotonic exercises help athletes improve their performance, and rehabilitation clients recover more quickly and fully post injury.

The Gyrotonic Method is practiced in group or private classes under the instruction of a qualified Gyrotonic Trainer.

 

The GYROKINESIS® Method

 

The Gyrokinesis Method is a movement method that addresses 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 method, which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.

The Gyrokinesis Method is practiced on a mat and chair, without equipment. Without the feedback and guidance of equipment, participants in a Gyrokinesis class are more dependent on their own proprioception to explore movement sequences.
