It is through the body we feel, sense, move, experience. The body is our path to freedom. Understanding how to expand and lengthen takes us to completely new realms, unexpected and unexperienced.
In a Gyrotonic class we learn how the body moves. We investigate the spine, the joints, the back body. We get to feel the patterns of holding and tension and over time move beyond them. We begin to trust the body, the earth and our environment. It is possible through allowing our body to move multi-directionally, playfully, experientially to introduce more freedom into our lives.
My personal teaching of Gyrotonic is philosophical. It is through my own body and placing my hands, eyes, ears upon, teaching other bodies that I have come to appreciate the magnitude of the body. The body contains our nature. It is that which has evolved for millions of years. It fits with the earth and the environment. It is home.
The path to returning to our body is an exploration, a curiosity, a blank page. We invite the body to move through choreographies that initially seem difficult. We move the mind out of the way and begin to feel the movement, allowing the body to take over. The sensation becomes immeasurable. It begins to feel like we are flying. It does not happen overnight. It takes patience, practice, investigation, curiosity. The desire for change or a goal is not what we are after. We are merely here to experience ourselves as human beings. Through Gyrotonic it is possible to return home to your body.
