A Spiraling Body Llc

Specialties

The body moves in three dimensions. Not only does it move up and down, front to back, and side to side, but it spirals and rotates and uses circular motions in accomplishing everyday tasks. Think about how you move when you reach for a dish on the top shelf, look over your shoulder when backing up your car, or pick up an item on the floor. Now think about your exercise program. Does it address rotation and the need for your body to move in many directions?

At A Spiraling Body Studio in Fairfield, CT, Fernanda Araujo, Certified Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis Instructor and former professional dancer with more than 30 years teaching experience, guides clients to build strength and coordination and reteach their bodies to move more effectively.

Gyrotonic® is based on the principles of dance, yoga, swimming and tai chi. It uses fluid exercises on machines with rotational discs and weighted pulleys that allow the exerciser to strengthen their muscles using flowing, circular movements

According to Shape Magazine, Gyrotonic® counteracts computer back, promotes removal of waste and lymph fluids, sculpts long, lean muscles, slims the midsection, and focuses the mind.

Along with private exercise instruction and Gyrokinesis group classes, A Spiraling Body Studio now offers Duets where you can workout with a friend or family member.
