Gyrotonic Lost & Found: Old exercises become new again.

The old becomes new. The GYROTONIC® Lost & Found course

Mike Luque with several Gyrotonic Master Trainers in Boulder, CO — The Master Trainers I got to hang out with at the Lost & Found course

GYROTONIC® training has been around for more than 30 years. The system isn't static and stuffy and "classical". It continues to grow, evolve, change and expand. Some of the changes come right from the top, from Juliu. Many changes come from other trainers, usually Master Trainers.

In all those years of growth and development, some very cool exercises slid into the background. Some gems got lost. Master Trainer Lucrezia Caricola scooped them up, organized them with purpose and created the Gyrotonic Lost & Found course, which I recently took from her in Boulder, CO.

Know your “why”. It’s the only real source of power.

Have you thought about why you’re doing the exercise you’re doing?

“Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the `why.’ `Why’ is what separates us from them, you from me. `Why’ is the only real source of power, without it you are powerless.”
– The Merovingian

Yes, I’m a giant nerd for quoting The Matrix Reloaded but it’s a good quote and one that I totally agree with. Why do you do what you do?

Yin and yang transform each other: like an undertow in the ocean

Quick tip: Like yin and yang gradually trade places with each other

I like to remind people that we are 3 dimensional creatures. If you put your fingers on your sternum, that isn’t your heart center. That’s the anterior view of your heart center. Your heart is 3 dimensional. It has thickness.
