Let’s Talk About Asymmetry!
I listened to a fascinating podcast about symmetry a while back and what really captured my imagination was the idea that scientifically, most of what we define as “symmetry” that we observe in the natural world is really “bilateral symmetry” or “mirror symmetry”. Of course, we can all usually identify “rotational symmetry” too – […]
Themes From The Week
Some of my students affectionately call me the “Queen of Metaphors”. It’s true; I like to use them to illustrate and give examples when we are moving. This week, the same theme kept returning. We were delving into the details of our movement again. We return to foundations somewhat cyclically, as needed, to increase our […]

Surgeons know that if they want an incision to heal well, they need to cut in the same direction of the lines: it is the way the tissue repairs. How does this relate to Gyrotonic movement? […]

If you think about how much time that little developing body might spend stuck in a plastic, rounded-backed chair, hunched over a desk, the consequences are alarming. Most playgrounds are equipped with a set of monkey bars. However, I was dismayed to […]
