Last week I was down in Laguna Beach taking a Gyrotonic Level 2 course to fulfill my CEU’s. Which is slightly ironic, because as a former Master Trainer… these are courses I used to teach. And I’ll say this — I genuinely love the quality of movement the Gyrotonic method can evoke. But there’s a moment that happens in almost every system like this. Where the choreography starts to eclipse the reason it exists.

We spent long stretches of time focused on:

• whether the foot was pointed or flexed
• whether we were inhaling or exhaling at the exact right second
• how many “leg squiggles” came before the circle

And somewhere in there, the actual experience of movement started to slip through the cracks.

At one point I found myself blurting out:
“Is this really what we care about right now?”

Because underneath all of it, there’s a quieter question:

What is this movement actually trying to give us?

The choreography is just the container.

The meaning lives somewhere else.

And if you prioritize the details before you’ve actually felt the thing —
the support, the coherence, the internal connection —

you lose access to the very reason the movement works in the first place.

This is exactly why I’ve been working so much with the Yoga Trapeze lately.

Not because it’s complex.
But because it isn’t.

I don’t need to construct a full sequence.
I don’t need to cue every limb.

I can place someone in the trapeze, give them a direction —
and their body starts organizing itself.

Support → leads to movement
Movement → leads to awareness
Awareness → leads to change

Without forcing anything.

I recorded a short breakdown of how I’m using it — not as a workout, but as a therapeutic tool.

Working with:

• prenatal clients
• post-injury gait retraining
• and one of my favorite humans, a 92-year-old learning how to walk with fluidity again

If you watch anything this week, watch this ( click it!!! )

And if you want to feel this approach in your own body, I also shared a full class:

A 30-minute trapeze + stability ball sequence that’s equal parts therapeutic reset and meditative movement.
Simple setup. Deep effect. The kind of support that lets your body actually unwind.

If that makes sense in your body —
if you can feel the difference between being guided through something vs. discovering it from within —

that’s exactly what I’ll be teaching next weekend.
