is the mat class of the GYROTONIC® system. You will take half the class seated in a chair, and half the class on mats.
This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating movements. Fluidity is the key. Postures are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, making exercises appear and feel more like a dance and swimming than like traditional yoga.
This four-week series costs $90
