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.

flowersAs we go live with our bright and beautiful new website, I find myself reflecting on the many changing faces of our studio since its beginning in 1998 under the direction of Diane Israel and Lindsey Hansen-Sturm, and since my daughter Kirstin Taylor and I took the reins in 2007.  So many hundreds of people have passed through our doors seeking knowledge, community, and a richer way of being in their bodies, and my gratitude goes out to all of them as well as to Juliu Horvath, founder of this marvelous work, and his devoted and skillful and loving partner and assistant Gina Muenster-Koetter.  So many people have contributed to this bright new website, which reflects our intention of moving in the world with beauty, clarity, and simplicity, with cooperation and community and sustainability.  Special thanks to Sue Seecof, cheerful website designer and Tad Hanna, impeccable graphics designer, and the office crew and teachers and clients who all scrutinized and refined and updated the website content.  May this fresh breeze inspire us all.     -Clyde Rae

Photo of Annie Brook teaching a class on embryology and movementBody-based (somatic) work creates an effective road toward health. Developmental understanding, sensation/emotion tracking, release of shock and trauma, plus movement repatterning creates a foundation that brings new perspectives to age old conditions of irritation, sabotage, or dysfunction. Find satisfaction!

Annie co-owns Colorado Therapies, a therapeutic center for individuals and families that treats infants to adults. She offers supervision and internship training at this site.

Not just talk! Somatic therapy works at the matrix of life experience where memory, behavior, and beliefs come together. The body records our stories, links beliefs to emotions, and creates protective behaviors. Learn to Thrive! Heal by getting into the core of yourself to feel, listen, repair, love, digest, and respond well to life’s. Unlike Hakomi, SME, EMDR, and hands-on body and cranial work, BodyMind Somanautics includes movement repatterning and teaches one to speak, flow, and relate.

Lindsey Hansen-Sturm

January 21, 2014 by ClydeRae

lindsyLindsey Hansen-Sturm’s first GYROTONIC®training was an eye opening experience into the full potential of the human bodys ability to perform and achieve health. This was back in 1998, after
spending many years as a competitive swimmer, tri-athlete and completing her doctorate in Chiropractic. The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® was the missing link Lindsey was searching for. Now all the concepts that Lindsey has been studying concerning human body wholeness and its self healing capabilities became a living experience through GYROTONIC® exercises, and has led her to pursue advanced courses in both the Gyrotonic methodology and Cranial-Sacral Therapy.

In 2004 Lindsey became a GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® Level I Master Trainer. She is now a GYROKINESIS Level I and Level 2 Master Trainer,  and a Jumping Stretching Board Master Trainer. The GYROTONIC® principles have helped reshape Lindseys Chiropractic practice into one that now emphasizes cranial-sacral therapy, acupuncture and soft tissue techniques. Lindsey believes the GYROTONIC® EXPANSION SYSTEM is an integrated approach to healing because it promotes creativity and gives us the opportunity to explore our fullest potential. It is her passion to share this wisdom and joy with others. Lindsey teaches individuals, groups and conducts GYROTONIC® Level 1 Teacher Trainings.

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.
