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 utilizes specialized 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 living with a disability. Gyrotonic exercises help athletes improve their performance and rehabilitation clients recover more quickly and fully post injury.

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 that 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.

TRX/Pilates Conditioning classes combine TRX suspension trainers with Pilates principles to enhance core muscle strength while working the entire body. TRX and Pilates share complementary core principles. Both focus on core strength, balance, and controlled movements but accomplish these goals differently.

TRX, rooted in suspension training, emphasizes full-body strength, stability, and functional movements by challenging balance, engaging multiple muscle groups, and enhancing body awareness. In contrast, Pilates focuses on precision, alignment, and breathing to promote efficient movement patterns and a deep connection between mind and body.

Gentle Flow Yoga (Restorative) sessions focus on synchronizing breath with a seamless and deliberate flow of slow, steady movements and stretching. Gentle Flow Yoga (Restorative) links each movement with breath, and postures are gradual — moving in and out of each pose and then finding a holding position. This preparation and fluid entry into postures protects and nurtures the joints, muscles, and connective tissue.

Participants of all levels are encouraged to join as modifications are possible to suit individual needs; note that this class will be physically challenging to build endurance and overall strength. You are welcome to bring your yoga mat or utilize one provided here.
