"Dan helped me feel the muscles I needed to be more stable and consistent through every part of my golf swing."
Dan's Story
As a professional actor, I have found that the GYROTONIC® method helps me connect with my innermost authentic self. It is a catalyst toward that state of simultaneous relaxation and engagement of the psyche that artists of all kinds seek in pursuing their best and most satisfying work.
You will discover that this approach to conditioning gives the practitioner the courage to be emotionally available, with a ready body, mind and spirit. Even after a short GYROTONIC® session, your body will be both relaxed and ready , your voice will be in the “right“ place, and your senses will be more perceptive while your mind remains sharp.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a method of expanding the physical , mental and emotional limits of your body. It gives the student the freedom to embrace their physical limitations , while working on continuously expanding them. By practicing the GYROTONIC® method , you are essentially improving your acting instrument–your own organism–in all its complexity.
EACH SESSION IS A SHORT CUT TO "BEING IN THE MOMENT.”
