Exercise booking spam
Trainers, We have had a number of reports of trainers receiving e-mails from someone claiming to be an international client who wants to book numerous GYROTONIC® sessions for a group of people who will be visiting the trainer's area for a few weeks. A few subject lines listed for these e-mails have been: "exercise booking inquiry" and "booking inquiry". This appears to be some sort of spam. Considering that a number of trainers have received these e-mails, it is likely that someone used a spamware program to gather up Gyrotonic trainer e-mail addresses from the internet. If you do receive an e-mail like this, delete it, and make sure you don't open any attachments.

WHITE CLOUD® OPERA
 With the help of a passionate group of Gyrotonic Trainers and students, Pietro Gagliardi, GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Master Trainer and owner of White Cloud Studio in Rome, Italy, has created an international, not-for profit dance company- The White Cloud ® Opera. This is no ordinary dance company. Everyone participating in the organization, from the dancers, to the cameraman and the accountant, are active Gyrotonic practitioners and the companies performances are inspired by and infused with the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods.
On January 24, 2012, they will be presenting their latest performance, “Timeless” in Rome Italy. Gyrotonic Master Trainer, Marika Vanuzzi correographed the performance and Gyrotonic Master Trainer, Elisabetta Carnevale is the principal dancer. Over 30 Gyrotonic trainers and students have come together to perform for the all-volunteer company. While Marika, Elisabetta, and many of the other performers are accomplished professional dancers, this is not a pre-requisite for the company. Musicians, writers, photographers, artists and students who just have a love for Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercise all have a place at the White Cloud Opera.
Proceeds from the January show will go to a local hospital- Ospedale San Camillo, reparto di Sclerosi Multipla, to support research on the the effects of Gyrotonic exercise on Multiple Sclerosis.
You can learn more about the White Cloud Opera at www.whitecloudopera.org and see footage from one of their previous performances by clicking here. You can also expect to see a lot more of them, as the company grows and their performances expand internationally.

GYROKINESIS® retreat in Bali
In May 2011, GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS Master Trainer, Debra Rose conducted a retreat in Ubud, Bali. Ubud is the town that author, Elizabeth Gilbert wrote about in the book/movie Eat, Pray, Love . It is a really special place and the perfect setting for a Gyrokinesis workshop. Here are some words from Debra about the retreat:
| Bali
is an island located in South East Asia near the equator. We had our retreat in the town of Ubud, which
is up in the mountains where there are cool breezes all the time. The weather was perfect. The climate allows the body to open up with such
ease it is a pleasure. Ubud is
considered the artistic and spiritual center of the Island. Bali is literally covered in flowers; making
it one of the most stunning places I have ever seen. The energy of the place is so relaxed. These are some of the reasons I choose this
location to create my first self -hosted travel training. |

I
taught a three-day update for licensed GYROKINESIS® trainers. We then we had a day off and proceeded with a
three-day extravaganza that had no prerequisite. There were trainers who have been teaching
over a decade mixed with people who have very little experience with the system
all together in one event. We all
learned a lot, laughed a lot, worked hard and had a ball.
On
our day off some people choose to go shopping. There are wonderful crafts, the clothes are
unusual, and the prices can’t be beat. Forrest
and I did an eco bike trip from the top of the Penginapan Volcano back to Ubud. They drove us to the top of the volcano
early in the morning and served us breakfast there. Then we picked out our
bikes and rode down stopping along the way at different sites such as this
amazing tree where Forrest found his most exciting friend.
Forrest and I made friends with our Archway mascot
when we went on Safari after everyone went home. This Bali adventure was one of
our most memorable experiences. If you
are interested in our next Bali adventure in 2013 contact my course coordinator

New GYROKINESIS® DVDs- Music, Shivering, Balance, and more
Those of us who’ve taken one of Juliu Horvath’s Gyrokinesis Breathing courses or Gyrokinesis Rejuvenation courses over the past year have had the exhilarating opportunity to experience the Gyrokinesis method in a whole new way. Intertwined with all the arching, curling, breathing and spiraling, have been these mesmerizing melodies, musical creations that are just as in tune with the Gyrokinesis movements as the song of our collective breath. The synchrony is not surprising, since the creator of these beats was Juliu himself, in partnership with GYROTONIC® Trainer and musician Rodolfo Troncoso.
Many of us have been waiting for the day when we could get a copy of the music we experienced in those classes, and now that day has come. Two new Gyrokinesis DVDS have just been released- GYROKINESIS® Standing Cardio Program and GYROKINESIS® Breathing Program- Happy Moves. The exercise sequences on both dvds are set to music that was carefully crafted and refined by Juliu and artfully executed by Rodolfo.
So, why music, and why now? Actually, in the 1980s when Juliu was teaching the predecessor to the Gyrokinesis method (Yoga for Dancers) he incorporated music with his classes. But, he couldn’t find anything that truly resonated with the natural rhythms he was teaching via movement.
Working with Rodolfo, Juliu found an outlet where he could create music that echoed the beats and tones of the Gyrokinesis movements he was teaching.
The synchrony of sound, breath, and energetic movement on the dvds is dynamic and playful. It will make you smile and dance and feel like a kid again.
In addition to the music, both dvds are filled with brand new exercise formats. GYROKINESIS® Breathing Program- Happy Moves has a series of new seated sequences, as well as a standing shivering sequence. GYROKINESIS® Standing Cardio Program is dynamic and energizing, and incorporates standing balance exercises.
Both dvds contain a 19 minute interview ( a short clip from that interview is included here) with Juliu and Rodolfo about why and how the music on the dvds was created. In the interview Juliu shares his feelings and insight about the music, and about the Gyrokinesis method in general.
If you practice the Gyrokinesis method, or if you are a Gyrokinesis Trainer searching for ways to make the method more accessible to your clients, you will definitely want to check out these dvds. Click Here And Get Your Copies Today!
