Today is my first day back to the studio and I am bursting with happiness. I've heard amazing things from you, Elizabeth, and Heather and I am so excited to see everyone again. I hope you have had a wonderful month. I've included some road trip photos that I hope you'll enjoy. I spent many nights sleeping on the ground, and days walking many miles. My body told me many stories! As always, it was an incredible journey.
So here we are. It's not quite fall, and I don't want to rush things--but my kids are back to school, the acorns are getting ready to release, and September apples are getting ripe. I'm hoping that little Autumn nip in the evening air is not too far away.
I adore all the amazing people who walk into the Symmetry studio. You are a very special bunch. I'll be highlighting someone every few months, because we can learn so much from each other. The journey in my body has not always been easy. One thing we can count on is that nothing stays the same in life (which is better than the alternative, in my opinion!) When something gets challenging, it is a comfort to have people to rely on for support. We can give that to one another. If you have a story you'd like to share, be sure to let us know! I'd love to have you tell it.
Get ready for an amazing season of wellness!
See you at the studio.
Love,
Kelly

Inspiring Movers: Meet Matthew!
Matthew has been a Gyrotonic student since June of 2018. He started working with Deb Perkinson as part of his recovery from a heart attack and stroke. He has a supremely positive attitude, and the unwavering support of his wife Kelli.
"From the beginning of my stroke recovery the doctors and therapists said I would have no feeling and no function. Gyro has not only increased my sensation but I am walking better, my hips are more balanced, and my gait speed has increased. It used to feel like I was walking on glass, but it is no longer painful."
Matt said his goal in Gyrotonic work is to strengthen his left side which is recovering from paralysis. "I feel so much stronger when I have a Gyro session. I have muscles again!" His favorite thing about Gyro is that he is getting taller and stronger. His favorite exercises are the upper body openings because they strengthen his shoulders and bring sensation into his partly-paralyzed left arm.
Matt is also a musician with a local band, The Incrementals. He sings and plays harmonica. Watch the video and enjoy!

Very Special Gyrokinesis 4 Week Series
This Friday!
Encore presentation Friday, Aug 23rd at 9am
The Gyrokinesis method originated from Juliu Horvath’s personal healing journey and creation of Yoga for Dancers. It gently works the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method, which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.
During a Gyrokinesis class, students move continuously, on a stool or the floor, with brief pauses between the sequences to allow for calming, expanded awareness. The whole body is stimulated as a system; no one part moves in isolation. We expect to feel the tips of the fingers as connected to the tips of the toes, the top of the head as connected to the tailbone, with all parts moving in opposition for greater expansion.
Registration for the series is required in advance. Please use link below.
