Snake, an old exercise on the Ladder
I recently recorded several exercises in the Levitation series and as I was selecting which exercises to use, I looked back at old syllabi to see if I was forgetting any really cool ones. I was. I haven't done Snake in years and I remembered how much I've always liked this.
While it looks kind of intense, using the arms like this actually allow me to increase my back bend. I can get higher than with my arms on the sides of the Ladder or hands clasped behind my head. I suppose its the physics of changing the lever length. It's also a great exercise for opening your chest and the front of the shoulders.

I have been a client of Mike's for 18 months and counting. Mike is an excellent communicator and trainer. While the gyro workout is physical, I find it is more mental. I am challenged in ways I am not in other "traditional" workouts. Mike is a Rotarian with my husband in the Upcountry Maui Rotary Club, and a contributor to the community. I am very pleased as Mike's client and fellow upcountry resident. I have (and will continue) to refer any and all to Mike's training!

Mike is a great Gyrotonic trainer. He communicates well, has a good studio, and customizes the workouts to what is most needed for each individual's physical improvements, for both strength and mobility. I've worked with him for privates, duos and trios and he's a wonderful trainer in all class settings. I highly recommend Gyrotonics and Mike Luque and his training.

Mike is an excellent instructor with an encyclopedic knowledge of anatomy. Gyrotonic has been a key part to keeping me wing foiling, and loose on the court.
