GYROKINESIS®
Week of December 18, 2021
GYROKINESIS® exercise is a complete movement system, for all levels and ages, and can be applied to a variety of situations, as one needs very little equipment. It incorporates many key principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics and Tai Chi. The class begins with the practitioner seated on a low stool and begins with simple breathing patterns to awaken the body. He or she mobilizes the spine and joints through a series of arching, curling and spiraling movements. The corresponding breathing patterns in every movement help to stimulate the nervous system and open up energy pathways. Rhythm, movement, & breath are the key elements of this system accessible for all fitness levels.

It all started with a BA in Liberal Arts from Harvard University, where Elizabeth’s background in physics met her studies in physiology and philosophy. Together, they inspired her exploration of the alternative therapies, where she fell in love.
Today, White Lotus by Elizabeth Jackson, a studio in the Pacific Palisades of Los Angeles, is founded on principles and experiences which span three major movement systems. Since 2000, Elizabeth has directly worked with and been certified by the founders and co-founders of THE GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, Yamuna Body Rolling, and Pilates. Additional studies and influences include Myofascial Therapist Tom Myers and Cranial Sacral Instructor Gary Strauss.
Elizabeth works with professional athletes, the elderly, all injuries, and people with a wide spectrum of goals for health and well-being. As the founder of White Lotus by Elizabeth Jackson, she also educates teachers/trainers in the GYROTONIC®and GYROKINESIS® movement systems.
