SACRED GEOMETRY AND GYROKINESIS® MOVEMENT IN MAY

April 12, 2023 by ClydeRae

SACRED GEOMETRY AND GYROKINESIS® MOVEMENT

Arvada, Colorado, May 10 – 12, 2025

Location: BodySpan Studio.

Tuition $525.  Studio fee: TBD

Deposit Due: $200, by April 27, 2025.

Contact: Deb McBride 720-352-7044

In essence this course is an exploration of GYROKINESIS® Movement through the lens of Laban Movement Analysis. This includes an introduction to Laban’s language of movement, Bartenieff Fundamentals®, the five Sacred Solids (sometimes called the Platonic Solids) and Laban’s movement scales with those 3-dimensional figures. We will handle models of the solids, draw them, build them, and move within them experiencing the dynamic affinities that give life to our Gyrokinesis practice.

We will move on the floor, through all levels, and traveling across and around the available space. We may take field trips to sites outside the studio depending on availability and weather. As with all my courses, content and approach will be influenced and informed by what knowledge, experience and questions students bring with them. A friend, student and colleague calls this “The Wisdom Pool.”

Sacred Geometry and Gyrokinesis Movement is the result of a long lifetime (70+ years) exploring the expression of life into form. This Course is an Update for Trainers Certified in Gyrokinesis and for Trainers Certified in both Gyrokinesis AND Gyrotonic. It is NOT an Update for Trainers Certified only in Gyrotonic.

CARDIOVASCULAR BREATHING 1 CLASS

November 15, 2017 by ClydeRae

CARDIOVASCULAR BREATHING 1 CLASS

with Specialized Master Trainer, ClydeRae Jolie-Ashe Sundays at 5:00pm ET.

The CardioVascular Breathing -1 Class is Juliu’s response to Covid. When two of his Master Trainers became gravely ill with the virus in the Spring of 2020 he got to work using various rhythmic breaths coordinated with movements and tapping to help the body’s healthy response to the illness. The Program (consisting of three Progressions) was so successful he shared it with the larger Gyrotonic community during a 21-day Journey. CVB-1 lays the foundation for the other two Progressions. It is complete in itself, but can be a stepping stone to the more complex and energetic Progressions 2 & 3. Of course, one does not need to have had Covid to benefit from these extraordinary Progressions!

Zoom online classes.

For new students the classes are $20 each, $90 for package of 5, $150 for package of 10.

Contact: ClydeRae, [email protected] or (303) 888-2525.

Bio- Emma Kingston

Emma Kingston has been part of the GYROTONIC® community since 1999. Emma was originally a massage therapist working in San Francisco, CA. Having been a dancer and a gymnast from a very early age, Emma has a natural connection to movement. Born with problematic feet and later developing scoliosis she went in search of a comfortable body. After attending an art high school as a dancer and becoming a massage therapist, Emma wished to see more long-lasting results in her clients’ bodies. Thinking that movement was the perfect thing to accomplish this; it seemed more active participation on the clients’ behalf was the way to go.

After literally stumbling upon Gyrotonic at San Francisco GYROTONIC® Emma saw so much potential in the vastness of this methodology she decided to do her pretraining with Tamara Yoneda. Emma completed her Foundation Course with Debra Rose and tested out with Juliu Horvath. Emma came into the system at a pivotal point in the development of the training process and feels very lucky to have worked so closely with Juliu Horvath and witness the many changes and developments to this amazing system.

Emma is the owner and manager of The Seed Center, which houses both Center GYROTONIC® and Bloom Natural Health Care. Together the facility encompasses an integrative health care facility that offers a variety of alternative health care modalities with the underlying goal of connecting movement and holistic health into a full body awareness and living.

Annie Brook’s Book – Birth’s Hidden Legacy

December 1, 2014 by ClydeRae

Annie Brook is an exquisitely trained Somatic therapist. Her years of clinical work in hospitals, public schools, clinics and private practice make her a speaker and therapist in high demand. She gets it about people and what they need. Annie blends psychology with developmental neuroscience, sensory-motor integration, play therapy, and what it takes to relate to others. People get results from her mulit-dimensional approach.

get-attachment.aspxAnnie comes from a background of adventurous women. Her great grandmother built a cabin with her children in Canada. Her mother studied to be a pilot, became a social worker, and then raised 5 children, later becoming a successful politician. Her father was an adventurer and a military hero who risked his life to save the lives of others. Annie built a log house in Maine, was a stoneware potter in Scotland, has worked on commercial fishing boats off Cape Cod and Alaska, was a sea kayak guide in Mexico and Alaska, and led hiking treks in Mexico ascared-adopted-child-400-px-300x200nd Africa.

“The heartsong is the song of the infant. Infants want to have a place in your heart. Infants want to be felt and guided and cared for, and never to be forsaken. It is a simple request and it’s primal to the sense of safety and love. Feeling safe and cared for ultimately develops the ability to care about others…”

Master Trainer Emma Kingston has been involved with the Gyrotonic methodology since 1999. Coming from a background in dance, gymnastics, Capoeira and other alternative movements and sports, Emma is a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Oregon and tries to blend her knowledge of the movement practices she has studied with the more technical knowledge of the body in her training courses.

Emma was born with foot issues and as a teenager was plagued with the development of scoliosis. Later as she was building her massage practice she developed tendonitis in one of her arms. Finding Gyrotonic was revolutionary to Emma’s concept of the body and the ability to heal and completely transform the body. After ridding her spine of scoliosis and curing the tendonitis in her arms and feeling her own feet find contact with the earth Emma felt like she had information worth sharing within the system itself.

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.
