We’re sending a big thanks to Abel Horvath for crossing the large pond from Germany, all the way to San Francisco, to lead certified Gyrotonic trainers through a Gyrotonic workshop and Archway class series that expanded on unique variations and new techniques.
Abel Horvath is a specialized Gyrotonic Master Trainer that sees Gyrotonic as a part of a lifestyle. It is a lifestyle of search and discovery. He teaches that Gyrotonic connects individuals with themselves, and in turn, more completely with their surroundings. To learn more about Abel’s teaching ethics, watch this video interview conducted by Marin Gyrotonic Studio in Tiburon, CA.
It’s truly inspiring to watch Abel’s take on awakening the unconscious body to become more in tune with oneself and others. He takes Gyrotonic from an exercise, to a better way of life. His passion and love of teaching was evident during the time he spent at ABOW early this February. Both new and returning clients were impressed by his knowledge and practice.
The Archway Level 1 was a Gyrotonic class Series split between two separate weekends. Abel walked trainers through experimental work on the Archway that left all participants feeling engaged, sore, and happy!
During Gyrotonic Explorations into Extremes, Abel guided students through a series of exercises, which explored alternative ways of accessing the depths of their structure. Students gradually progressed from the warming up and preparing exercises to the mobilizing, restructuring and strengthening ones. Abel walked participants through the details of movement while experimenting with intensity.
This was Abel’s third annual visit to the studio and it’s always a pleasure hosting him and his practice at A Body Of Work! We look forward to having him at the studio again soon.
