GYROKINESIS ® - OPENING AND CLOSING WITHIN THE BREATHING CYCLES

Gyrokinesis with Maria Zimpel takes place instead of Eva-Maria Kraft's training.

Attention! 2G+ event (fully vaccinated/recovered + proof of third vaccination or test)!
To enable training sessions, we offer intensive courses with a limited number of participants. These courses last 3 days and take place Monday to Wednesday from 10:30 - 12:30. A registration with a short CV at tanzplan2@kampnagel.de is absolutely necessary. This way you will also receive links for ticket purchase. Participation should preferably be for the whole course week (15€), but it is also possible to buy daily tickets (6€).

GYROKINESIS® is a practice based on circular movements connected with the rhythm of breath and balancing the symmetry in the body. It is a practice created by former ballet dancer Juliu Horvath, developed and cherished by his students. During the four days of training via Zoom the focus will be on strengthening the core in order to bring freedom into the movement.

For Maria Zimpel Gyrokinesis is a way to warm up and a way to keep renewing balance in the body. As a dancer and choreographer it suits her perfectly as a base for the body training. As a GYROKINESIS® teacher she wants to share with others a practice that helps to enjoy an elegant, strong and graceful movement full of breath.

In the classes for February 2022, we will focus on the GYROKINESIS principles that can later help guide oneself through the practice.

Please bring a yoga mat.
