9:30am PST - ONLINE Balance and Flow GYROKINESIS® (Harriet)
Still sliding! We are continuing our workouts using furniture sliders (carpet/rug) or slippery socks (wood/laminate floors) to work hip mobility while seated, to facilitate abdominal strength, and are adding upper body work which can be done kneeling, standing, or seated at a table. Please keep your stool and bath towel ready for class as well, in addition to any supplemental padding to support kneeling. Video available if you can't attend live.
Focusing on the ability of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® to increase circulation, mobilize and strengthen joints, and increase proprioceptive awareness, this Zoom class prepares the body for more confidence in standing balance work.

Remember that bivalent boosters are available to those who are eligible, and we encourage you to stay current on your vaccinations to help keep our community healthy.
We are continuing to wear masks fully covering the nose and mouth while in the Movement For Everyone studio. Our window does not open, our space is very intimate, and we're prioritizing hands-on work during in-person sessions. Online sessions are available for those who are unable to mask for 50-minutes.
