Upward Spiral Studio, established in 2009,
is committed to building a stronger, healthier, and happier community through movement, exercise, and strength.
We specialize in the PILATES and GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® Methods.
The Pilates and Gyrotonic methods can be adjusted to match any fitness level, those recovering from injury or living with a disability to elite athletes. The benefits of both methods are both preventive and therapeutic. Each discipline can provide gentle strength training for rehabilitation or a strenuous workout vigorous enough to challenge skilled athletes. If your physical therapy is coming to an end, the Pilates or Gyrotonic methods may be your answer to maintaining consistency, getting encouraging support, and continuing to build strength and condition your body to stay injury-free.
*Not sure if you want Pilates or Gyrotonic? Read below! We also have a page dedicated to just that question.
The PILATES METHOD (mat work, and specialized equipment): Pilates is a full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, and endurance with a primary emphasis on building strong core muscles. There is mat work and specialized equipment. The workout resistance is created with different strengths of springs, and involves both moving the springs and stabilizing against them.
NOTE: You can request our instructor, Ho Eun Song, who speaks Mandarin and Korean!Â
The GYROTONIC® METHOD (uses specialized equipment): Gyrotonic classes are designed to take the body beyond its current range of motion. People come out of a Gyrotonic class with increased freedom of movement, greater strength and more agility. The movements are circular, small, large; incorporate breath and constant motion, simultaneously strengthening and stretching the body.
The GYROKINESIS® METHOD (seated, standing and floor work): People from all walks of life take Gyrokinesis classes, including accomplished athletes, fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens and people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability. By the end of a Gyrokinesis session, one’s entire system is awakened and brought into greater balance. Focus on the breath stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in a sense of calm, well-being and mental clarity.
