The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire person by opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency. With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® utilizes specialized equipment to guide, assist and challenge the exerciser.

People from all walks of life take Gyrotonic classes, including fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, accomplished athletes and people recovering from an injury or living with a disability. Gyrotonic exercises help athletes improve their performance and rehabilitation clients recover more quickly and fully post injury.

Karen initially discovered the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® while rehabilitating from a neck injury. Her experience of how deeply the work realigned and offered new possibilities in her own movement inspired her to work with others. Her clients range from young adults to golden age movers, those working to rehabilitate and those who are interested in opening into new physical awareness. Karen’s own background as a professional dancer, energy practitioner and creative fuels her desire to continually stretch, grow and explore different physical and energetic modalities (yoga, Alexander technique, Feldenkrais, Gaga, Yamuna and more). Every person and every body has a unique story and path to more freedom - Karen meets you wherever you are in your journey. She teaches with humor and light, curiosity and sensitivity.

Private in person classes are arranged with Karen at Kinespirit Riverside on the UWS in New York. Zoom classes are available for clients who own the equipment. New clients are accepted on a case by case basis.
