PRAISE FOR OTHER TRAININGS

Thank you so much for another adventure into new connections, clear intentions and shivering mermaid tails of almost symmetry. My time with you each year feeds my soul with the nourishment I need to survive a year and so much more.

-Christy

I’ve found GYROTONIC® exercise to be therapeutic, strengthening, energizing, inspiring and fun! All the teachers at GYROTONIC® Boulder are fabulous and the community is as well. At 68 years old I’m delighted to have all my joints working happily and I owe a great debt to Gyrotonic Boulder – what an Incredible Gift!

-Johanna Alper

“What an absolute joy it has been to spend the last 3 days with you learning and growing. I am trying to soak it all in and absorb the wisdom you exude. Thank you for supporting me through making this possible for me! You have created a delightful environment for us all to come together.”

-Julie Janus Walters

“I want to say thank you for allowing me to assist you in the Gyrotonic Foundation training we completed today. I literally enjoyed every single moment of every day of our time together and I am so very grateful for your generosity of spirit, and for your wisdom, playfulness, compassion and insight.”

-Andy

I started GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® exercises only a month ago and I can already see the difference in the way my body is aligned and the way it moves. I have Fibromyalgia and have been dealing with the related chronic pain, limited movement and injuries that come with this condition. After starting the gentle GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® movements I have become more flexible and move more easily. Most exercise, I have found, has led to more pain and is not much benefit. With the movements my instructor at GYROTONIC® Boulder has been teaching me I go away feel relaxed, awake and alive instead of sore and tired. I am very excited to see what other changes my body will undergo as I move forward. I highly recommend these movements for anyone with chronic pain or an injury.

-Erin Huffman

“Love this! And love doing this with my favorite Gyro peeps! Thank for sharing ClydeRae Jolie-Ashe!”

-Jesslynn Stull on Twitter

“Thank you for your generosity of spirit and information and for igniting our curiosity and hearts.”

-Sarah Honer

“Thank you for your energetic transmission, beyond words.”

-Leigh Johnson

The work that we did on Friday (in GYROKINESIS® class) was the magic that I needed for my diaphragm. It no longer goes into spasm when I cough or sneeze, a problem that I have experienced for years and the doctors said it couldn’t be muscular. I am determined to continue the work under my ribs regularly.

It Is I Who Must Begin
by Václav Havel

It is I who must begin.
Once I begin, once I try–
here and now,
right where I am,
not excusing myself
by saying things
would be easier elsewhere,
without grand speeches and
ostentatious gestures,
but all the more persistently
–to live in harmony
with the “voice of Being,” as I
understand it within myself
–as soon as I begin that,
I suddenly discover,
to my surprise, that
I am neither the only one,
nor the first,
nor the most important one
to have set out
upon that road.
Whether all is really lost
or not depends entirely on
whether or not I am lost.

Arrivals
by David Whyte

Imagine the confines of a long grey corridor

just before immigration at Washington Dulles

airport. Imagine two Ethiopian women amid

a sea of familiar international plastic blandness,

entering America for the first time. Think of

their undulating multi-colored turbans raised

atop graceful heads, transforming us,

a grey line of travelers behind them, into followers

and mendicants, mere drab, impatient, moneyed

and perplexed attendants to their bright,

excited, chattered arrival.

Imagine a sharp plexi-glass turn left and suddenly

before them, in biblical astonishment, like a vertical

red sea churning, like the waters barring Moses from

The Promised Land, like Jacob standing before the ladder,

a moving escalator, a mode of rising, a form of ascension,

a way to go up they’d never seen before, its steel grey

interlocking invitation on and up to who knows what,

bringing them and everyone behind them, to a bemused,

complete, and utter standstill.

So that you saw it for the first time as they saw it

and for what it was, a grated river of lifting steel,

an involuntary, moving ascension into who knows what.

An incredible surprise. And you knew, even through

your tiredness, why it made them raise their hands

to their mouths, why it made them give low breathy

screams of surprise and delighted terror. You saw it

as they saw it, a staircase of invisible interlocking

beckoning hands asking them to rise up

independent of their history, their legs or their wills.

And we stopped as we knew we had to now

and watched the first delighted be-turbaned

woman put a sandaled foot on the flat grey

plain at the foot of the moving stair and sure

enough quickly withdraw it with a strangled scream,

leaving her sandal to ascend strangely without her

into heaven, into America, into her new life.

Then, holding her friend away, who tried to grab

her, to save her, to hold her back, who pointed

and shouted, telling her not to risk herself,

not to be foolish, she silently watched her shoe,

that willful child, running ahead, its sole intent

to enter the country oblivious to visas and immigration,

above the need for a job, uncaring of healthcare,

pointing toward some horizon she had never dreamt,

intent on leaving only its winged footprint

for her to follow, like a comet’s tail, like an omen

of necessity, like a signaled courage, like an uncaring

invitation, to make her entrance with soul and style.

Because she looked up at this orphaned, onward

messenger with her eyes ablaze, threw off the panicked

clamboring arms of her friend, raised her chin

in noble profile, and with all that other hurrying

clamor of the world behind her, with a busy,

unknowing, corporate crowd at her back and questions

beginning to be asked out loud, she lifted her arms,

clapped her hands, threw back her head and with

a queenly unbidden grace, strode on to the ascending

heaven bound steel like a newly struck film star,

singing the old, high pitched song her children

would hear when she told the story again.

And as her friend below sang,

applauded, danced on the spot

and ululated her companion’s arrival,

we stood there behind her,

transfixed, travel weary,

and crammed into the corridor

like extras from some

miraculous scene in the Bible.

While

she ascended,

her arms straight out,

wide eyed and singing.

Into America.
