GYROTONIC
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a method of movement derived from Yoga, dance, swimming and gymnastics. This system of movement originates from the spine and follows the natural energy lines in the body building internal and external strength. |  |
The Gyrokinesis system, also referred to as the 'Essentials of Body Kinetics' works the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement without the use of equipment. The class begins with breathing techniques to awaken the senses |  | MASSAGE
Massage is useful in many conditions in which body relaxation, reduction of swelling, and muscle mobilization is desired. At Body Fusion, we perform a variety of massage techniques dependent upon the client and condition being treated. |  |
