Walking seems like the most natural thing in the world. So we walk while looking at our phones and thinking about our to-do lists, forgetting to feel ourselves...
My weekly weight training class is the time I look forward to most. Under the guidance of my favorite instructor, Andie, and with the support of the equipment and her manual techniques, each class feels like a full-body rejuvenation. My chest opens up, my body becomes more upright and has more space; that feeling of stretching and exhilaration is something no other exercise can replace.
I've been learning from teacher Sasa for a long time. Through the "Gentle Movement" equipment, she teaches me to coordinate my breathing with the flow of the equipment and to feel the feedback from my body. Each movement guides me to open up the space in my spine segment by segment, and I can feel a very slow and deep expansion of space.
Throughout the class, Bryce, the instructor, showed no impatience or negative feedback whatsoever. She didn't show any displeasure when I didn't do the movements correctly or forgot how to do them, which surprised me greatly! This overturned my stereotype of "gym instructors." Because of this, I continued to attend the machine-based Chanjug class. Bryce's gentle yet firm attitude made me enjoy the machine-based Chanjug class more and more. I felt completely relaxed and had a lot of fun. In the end, machine-based Chanjug became something I looked forward to every week.
There's no earth-shattering secret to GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®; it's a practice of constantly returning to oneself and reintegrating. When we're willing to give our bodies time to settle and accumulate, the movements transform from external imitation into internal memory.
