I’ve been an online Gyrokinesis student for over a year. I see a number of benefits in these exercises in promoting mobility in my spine and hips. These are particularly important to me because I have scoliosis with a double curve and severe stiffness. The upper body exercises including the spirals and side arches give me pretty good control over expanding the compressed side of each curve. This control is much better than I’ve been able to achieve via Yoga and Pilates in the past.
