TU Dance: GYROKINESIS® Workshop for Adults with Wendy Anderson

Please join us at TU Dance Center for a 6-week GYROKINESIS® workshop for adults with Wendy Anderson—starting with breathing patterns and progressing into motions that mobilize the spine through arching, curling, bending, spiraling, and waving. Connecting with the breath, the movement starts to feel like a dance: oxygenating the circulatory system, stimulating the nervous system, and opening the body. Exercises are done on chairs/stools and in standing and lying positions. No experience is necessary.

Wednesdays, 4:30-5:45pm
March 19-April 30 with no class on April 2.
Online registration is required. Cost: $90

Single class enrollment also available. For more information about Wendy and to register, click here.

Wendy Anderson has trained as a dancer, fitness professional, Pilates trainer, and presently Gyrotonic Trainer. She is an authorized teacher and teacher trainer (Pre-Trainer) of both Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic. Having the good fortune of working with some of the most renowned Master Trainers, including Juergen Bamberger, Juliu Horvath (creator of Gyrotonic), and Paul Horvath (physiotherapist), Wendy has also trained on all pieces of Gyrotonic equipment. She trains all levels of students from highly accomplished athletes to the very beginner who has started their adventure with Gyrokinesis or Gyrotonics later in life. “Always amazed by the beauty, depth, and sophistication of this movement modality and how people can benefit from gyro on all levels of their being.”
