Gathering from her experience as a dancer, mover and therapist for over 25 years. She combines elements from modalities such as Ballet, Modern, Tango, Yoga, Weight Training and Cross Fit, GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®. The outcome is a delightfully fun, journey of exploration to find strength and flexibility while releasing old patterns of tension and imbalance. The GYROTONIC® Method is an original movement method that addresses the entire person by opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency. With these exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility. This unique Method utilizes specialized equipment to guide, assist, and challenge the each person. People from all walks of life take GYROTONIC® classes, including fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, accomplished athletes, and people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability. Specific exercises can help athletes improve and their performance and rehabilitate their injuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa72976b1d3a422a8f3ed67/cd462243-64f7-46a4-ab6e-42a54f516aad/A2BD46E4-844F-4BEC-B5EE-8D97DFA2969C_1_201_a.jpeg TARA Movement - The GYROKINESIS® Method of movement addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing sequences. It is an original and unique method, which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus and is practiced on a mat and chair, without equipment. Without the feedback and guidance of equipment, participants in class are more dependent on their own proprioception to explore movement sequences. https://michelemassageseattle.com/botanicalmedicine daily 0.75 2021-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa72976b1d3a422a8f3ed67/1624575804820-K96O20G2Q7UHXSNCX3Y7/543B43F3-FB2B-4A8A-ADCB-9F15795BDBAD.jpeg Aromatherapy + Botanicals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa72976b1d3a422a8f3ed67/1606847404465-SY61CDMKHOYWKU7NLBF9/9F553C1C-384F-46F9-8911-30907CFB62E4.jpeg Aromatherapy + Botanicals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa72976b1d3a422a8f3ed67/1624575149409-VJYUGMHLC5Z6E48OSH4D/B3AC5B5B-50B7-49CE-8F6E-26E1A4CD8559.jpeg Aromatherapy + Botanicals https://michelemassageseattle.com/gift-certificate daily 0.75 2022-03-14
