Heart of Class

Have you ever forgotten how much you loved something, only to have that memory come flooding back in full force within minutes of reuniting? That Happened for Me Yesterday. I took a pause from teaching Gyrotonic classes to develop my teacher training program, Proprio-Synthesis, and spent the last year teaching classes focused more on theory and principles of movement. I hadn't realized how much I missed sharing the beautiful flow of that particular style of movement until Saturday afternoon, when a 2-hour workshop turned into a 3 hours. By the end, every piece of my body felt smooth, fluid, and joyful. This intensive went deep, and it was important to me to create a preparation for the students that would: • Warm up their entire body • Convey the principles I wanted to emphasize in the class So I designed a warmup using a theraband and ankle weights to: • Initiate dynamic spinal mobility • Stabilize the pelvis while lubricating the hip sockets •Teach the core engagement that would form the basis for all the movements to come This week, I'm sharing that warmup with you. You'll need: • A set of ankle weights • A stool • A long theraband (loops on the ends are optional) If you missed the chance to sign up for the full Progression 7 intensive before the livestream, it's not too late to get 6 months' access to the recording. I'm going to leave the registration link open for one more week to let anyone else who wants in to get on the list. After that, you'll be able to rent the recording for a 3-day viewing period through the On Demand Workshops section of my website (at the same cost). So if you want the extended access, it's time to take action.
I'll be offering more Gyrotonic classes in the coming months: • Progression 7 intensive part 2 in June • Progression 7 sessions 4 class series in August ( registration opens soon!) • Floor class on the Ultima XS in September If you're wondering about the LifePro series and Mad Props (where we explore the magical world of home equipment and simple props), don't worry! They're coming: • LifePro is scheduled for July 8-12 • Mad Props will happen in the fall I can't wait to move with you. Enjoy this powerful warmup, and have a beautiful week! Domini Anne P.S. I'm taking next weekend off to teach at Lightning in a Bottle, so there won't be an email next Sunday. But you can browse all my old newsletters here and pick the workout that calls to you if you feel the desire to ease back into your body with me in my absence. |

There are moments—like this week—when the world feels like too much. You open the news and it hits before you can brace: airstrikes. university occupations. protest crackdowns. leaders falling. systems unraveling. And yet somehow, you’re still expected to reply to emails, make dinner, smile at strangers in the grocery store. The body knows something is wrong, even when we keep moving through our day. This past Saturday, just 90 minutes before teaching The Source Awakens, I was out walking my...
Hi Reader, Thanks to everyone who tuned in (or set an alarm!) for Thursday’s IG Live on the Gyrotonic Method and bone density. The questions were smart, the conversation was rich—and if you missed it, I’ve got you covered. 🎥 Here’s the replay: We talked about: Whether overhead work with the Wingmaster can replicate heavy lifting If jumping on the JSB with max resistance creates enough impact How much challenge is actually required to stimulate bone growth And most importantly: How do we layer...
My hands gripped the edges of the table as I took another breath and focused on relaxing the area beneath my left scapula. The needle bit into my skin, searing a path down my back as I exhaled slowly, keeping perfectly still while tension rippled through my body. Then ...Release. A magnificent flood of warmth spread across my system. The moment the needle lifted, my body melted. Relief washed through me like an internal tide, eclipsing the distress signals that had overwhelmed me just seconds...
