ONLINE CLASSES
CARDIOVASCULAR BREATHING + CLASS
THIS CLASS HAS BEEN POSTPONED: Sundays, weekly at 5:00 – 6:15 PM ET.
Zoom online classes. The CardioVascular Breathing 1 & 2 Plus – The 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!
Fee for classes BY DONATION. Students can request the link and can pay as they are able, by Zelle, Venmo, Paypal or check.
Before starting one of her Zoom classes, ClydeRae asks new students to meet with her for a complimentary 30 minute private session on Zoom.

GYROKINESIS® APPLICATIONS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
with Specialized Master Trainer, ClydeRae Jolie-Ashe
ClydeRae plans to offer a series of short videos that will be available for any Osteo students who don’t choose to do the CVB+ class on Sunday.
Why might aging bodies benefit from the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Methods?
The Gyrotonic System of movement moves everything, the spine, every joint, every tissue, with varying breathing patterns and many rhythms. It’s not about range of motion, but about discovering one’s own range of motion, strength, balance, pleasure in movement, and then enhancing all capacities. It is never boring. It is engaging, playful, effective and with extensive evidence and documentation of its effectiveness.
ClydeRae has enjoyed guiding movement with seniors for over 25 years, is herself closer to 80 than 70, learns something with every class she teaches, is inspired by her students and is still acquiring new skills and capacities.
ClydeRae plans to offer a series of short videos that will be available for any Osteo folks who don’t choose to do the CVB+ class on Sunday.

Sacred Geometry and the GYROKINESIS® Method
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.
I love teaching this Course and am very much looking forward to meeting you and moving with you. This Course is about possibilities, and it is your willingness and curiosity that will reveal those possibilities. I’ve been exploring and teaching movement for over six decades (!), and I’m still learning.
