Taking Flight
What is 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. Through this method, we will explore ways to restore your body to its natural function without the need for any equipment other than a chair to sit in and your body to work.
While it greatly assists the dancer body, you are not required to be a mover to take the class. This method has to ability to be modified in many ways to include as many types of bodies as possible.
You will need something stable to sit on, as well as a mat or towel. Depending on the class, you will need enough space to reach your arms to the sides and to sit with your legs straight.

Classes or Privates Available
I currently offer both privates (Services) and group classes (Classes) via Zoom. I plan to keep this option moving forward. If you wish to gain access to recorded sessions or movements, it is required that you take either 5 group classes or 1 private session.
Due to policies of the GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® methods, these videos cannot be made public or distributed. Most videos will only be made available for 30-days.
Danielle's Background
Learning to Heal the Body
I grew up as a dancer. Jazz. Ballet. Tap. Modern. Hip Hop. I was there. But as I've gotten older; wiser, I realized that it's not just about performing or moving around.
The way our bodies move tell a lot about us. Where we hold tension. Where an old injury is. How technology has drastically effected our skeletal structure.
My initial plan from this information was to get certified in Somatic Movement. It was always just a plan to get around to someday when the time was right. The information to complete a certification still lives in my saved pages, but life has a special way of taking your hand and guiding you if you'll let it.
That being said, back in 2014, I ended up at a workshop through knowing someone who knew someone else that knew this other person. While at this workshop, I was introduced to the GYROKINESIS® Method. After years of back and forth, I eventually committed to beginning my journey to becoming certified.
As of December 2019, I was finally an officially certified GYROKINESIS® instructor, and I can only see my learnings and teachings growing from there. I hope that you find as much revitalization and mobility as I have through this movement.
