Stephen: Hey guys, all right! It’s Stephen Dunn and Megan with CORE Therapy and Pilates today, and what we’re gonna do is go over a little tutorial on how to set up your Mind Body account so that you can pay online, you can schedule online, and you can do all of that stuff. We get asked this all the time, and we decided it was time to put a little video together to make it easy.

So with that said, Megan’s gonna take it over, and we’ve got the camera set up right here on the computer screen, and we’ll be rocking and rolling, so with that said, Megan, take it over.

Megan: Hey guys, so I just want to show you how you can get online, and you can schedule your classes, you can purchase your classes, all through the Mind Body app. We can get to the Mind Body app from our website. If you just type in www.therapyandpilates.com, it’ll pull you up to the website. And then we’re gonna go into classes, over here on the right-hand side, and go down to scheduling. When you open this up, this will be the screen that shows and it’s gonna show you all of the classes that we have available for the rest of the week. So you’ll see that we still have an 11:00 a.m. and a 12:00 p.m. that you can still sign-up for now.

You’re gonna wanna log-in using the email address that we have on file. So I’m gonna go ahead and type in our log-in so we can open this up. All right, so there we go, now we’re logged in. So if I wanted to join this 11:00 a.m. Gyro class, I would click on the tab that says sign up now. And you open that up, and it’s gonna give you two different options. The first option is to make a single reservation for the class, and if we wanna just enroll this one class, you’ll click on, make a single reservation. And it’s gonna ask you how you want to do the purchasing for this. So we can either buy it as a 10 pack, or we can buy it individually. Most people are probably gonna buy it individually if they’re just signing up online. So then you’ll click on that bottom, Individual Reformer class. And it’s gonna pull up your shopping cart. And you’ll just go in, click checkout, and then it’s gonna ask for your credit card information. If you have a package already, then you’ll just go in and sign up, and it should just pull it from that package. You shouldn’t have to go to this screen.

So, we’ve gone through the classes, and this is gonna be the teacher on the side. If there’s any substitution for the teacher, it’s gonna show in red. Then if you want to schedule an appointment for a private training session, you’ll go in under appointments, and you get to decide which session you’d like. So we’ve got apprentice, we’ve got a regular private personal training, and then we’ve got a private with a master trainer. And you get to choose your instructor, what day and times that you would like to come in. So you could see what’s available, and search, and it’ll bring that up. And now I just hit everybody, so it’s gonna bring up availability for all of our people.

Then if you go to my info, this is where you can update info. So your personal information, you can change your user name, you can change your password. If you move, you can come in and change your address, and it will reflect as such in our system when we log in. Then it’ll also ask you how you want to receive notifications and reminders from us. So balance things, if you want your account, we can email and text, reminders about scheduling, and any of those changes, you can choose the email option or the text option, same with news and promos. Then you can add billing information if you wanna keep a credit card stored on file with us. Then under my info you can go to your schedule. You can see what your schedule looks like. This is like a visit history. So the times that you have been to us, and your purchases.

And then if we go to the online store, this isn’t one that’s gonna be used a whole lot, this products tab, but you can go in and you can purchase series and memberships okay. So if you’re wanting a 10 pack of private sessions, you can purchase it through the classes screen, or you can also purchase it through this screen. If you wanna purchase a package membership, Reformer Gyro Tower class, and then again, you get that same option of a 10 pack or an individual pack. You can make a payment on your account from this screen as well. And if you’ve got anything standing out there, you can go in and you’ll be able to pick which thing you want to apply the payment for. And then we’ve got another one which is package memberships with like PT and fitness classes combined. So we do have a couple of those in there.

And, I think that that is everything that we have. And so then if you want to also, I’m sorry going back, if you want to look at what next week’s class schedule is gonna look like, you’ll just hit the week tab, and it’ll pull up next week, and all the classes that are available. If you do not see this sign up now tab, the class is going to be full. So all these are showing that that is available.

And, if you have any questions, please comment below, and we’ll get back to you. Otherwise, thanks and have a great day.

Stephen: All right guys, we’ll see y’all soon, and we’ll see you all on Mind Body. Take care guys.

The post The <span class="gyrotonic">GYROTONIC</span>® Experience: Jump Stretch Board with Cheryl Dunn appeared first on CORE Therapy & Pilates.

Hey, guys. It’s Stephen here of CORE Therapy and Pilates in Austin, Texas. I wanted to go over a question I got today. Actually it was yesterday with one of my clients. It was a brand new client coming in with scoliosis, and she wanted to progress from physical therapy into our Pilates and Gyrotonic classes and eventually and to be able to do those things at home. And her question was, “How do I progress from physical therapy to Gyrotonic with the fancy crazy looking machines, and then be able to reproduce some of that at home?”

So my answer to her was that we offer something called Gyrokinesis. And what Gyrokinesis is is basically the mat version of Gyrotonic. So Gyrotonic is on those fancy looking machines and equipment that do all the spiraling and rotation, but Gyrokinesis is basically the mat version of it, and what that means is you’re sitting on a stool, or a chair, or you’re on the floor like a regular mat class.

So just like Pilates has Pilates reformer and trap table and chair work, and then Pilates mat work, with Gyrotonic is the work on the equipment, and Gyrokinesis is the work on the floor and the stool. So with that said, I went through a plan with this client about how I would need to see her for like three or four sessions to work on manual therapy, myofascial release, some joint work to get her more straightened out and whatnot.

But then the progress would come or the long term success would come from her getting stronger in her entire body, specifically, her trunk, and that Gyrotonic was gonna create a lot of rotation and enable to release some of the faults that are coming along from her, the faults from scoliosis, let me say it that way. So with that said, I was able to paint a picture of seeing me for a couple of times, seeing my trainer for a few Gyrotonic sessions, and then working into the Gyrokinesis class, and buying a Gyrokinesis video off of the website, and being able to do that at home.

So she came in expecting to have this long term plan that was gonna take her months to do here, and the reality is, it’s gonna take her about two months to get to that process of understanding the work well enough, and until then, there is some learning. But the long term for her ability to do the Gyrokinesis work at home is really where she’s gonna make the change.

So what I wanna do now is I’m gonna walk out into the studio, where we actually have two things going on right now. We have a Gyrotonic class going on, where there’s four people on the machines, and that’s what the Gyrotonic looks like with the actual specialized equipment. And then we have a Gyrokinesis class going on with four people on the floor or a stool, I’m not sure where they’re at now. So we’re gonna walk out there and look at that.

And if you have any comments or questions, just leave them in the comments below and I’ll be sure to get back to you with that. So hang on one second.

So to answer your question, stumpknocker [SP], yes, it is for old fart’s like you, man. I love it (response to FB live question). All right, guys, that’s it for today. I hope you all have a great day. Any other comments after watching this when it’s not live, just put them in the comments below. Any questions, I should say, leave them in the comments. Take care.

The post Gyrokinesis: The Mat Version of Gyrotonic That Can Be Done At Home! appeared first on CORE Therapy & Pilates.

Hi, I’m Brandi and I teach Gyrotonic, Pilates and Gyrokinesis here at CORE. Today I’m gonna talk to you a little bit about breathing, because the last couple weeks we were in a workshop, a lot of us did it, and we learned a ton about breathing. And when I took what I learned in the workshop to my clients, I noticed that a lot of people were having trouble breathing properly. So, I’m gonna talk to you a little bit about that.

So the first thing to notice is how you’re inhaling. A lot of people inhale and this happens. Right? So basically what’s happening there is you’re lifting everything with your neck and shoulders, and we don’t wanna do that. So, what you really want to do when you’re inhaling is think about inhaling either into the bottom back of your ribcage and widening your ribcage there, or into your belly. Good. And this is Hayley, y’all have met her. Anyway, so Hayley’s gonna take a few inhales, first into the back of her ribcage, and now take one into your belly. Good. So you’ll notice that when she inhales her shoulders are not coming up. Do one where they do. Good. Right. This is not where our lungs fill, and neither is this. Right.

Okay, so the next thing to think about is what is happening as you exhale. So, we learned a three second exhale, and it is a sure-fire way to get your stress level down a little bit and also to help you connect, and even to provide a little bit of space in your lumbar spine if that happens to be something that’s bothering you.

So Hayley is going to inhale into my hands here. The first second of her exhale, she’s going to connect her ribs, then she’s going to lengthen her neck into my hand and then she’s going to reach her sits bones down into the stool. She’s all nice and connected. Now release. All right, so we’re gonna to do that a couple more times and show you, and I’m just going to cue her.

[button_1 text=”Apply%20for%20your%20FREE%20Pilates%20Taster%20Session%20HERE!%26nbsp%3B%C2%BB” text_size=”24″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_font=”Open Sans;google” text_letter_spacing=”0″ subtext_panel=”N” text_shadow_panel=”Y” text_shadow_vertical=”1″ text_shadow_horizontal=”1″ text_shadow_color=”#333333″ text_shadow_blur=”2″ styling_width=”20″ styling_height=”15″ styling_border_color=”#000000″ styling_border_size=”0″ styling_border_radius=”6″ styling_border_opacity=”100″ styling_gradient_start_color=”#2d7aa0″ drop_shadow_panel=”N” inset_shadow_panel=”N” align=”center” href=”/pilates-free-taster/”/]

[vertical_spacing height=”20″]

So inhale, exhale, connect those ribs, lengthen, and reach your sits bones down. Nice. Let’s do a couple more. Inhale, exhale, ribs, lengthen, sits bone reaching and relax. Okay, now we’re gonna do a couple where she’s gonna breathe into the lower part of her ribcage in the back. So she’s going to inhale into my hands here, exhale, connect her ribs here, lengthen up, reach her sits bones down and release. Let’s do one more like that. Inhale, good, exhale, connect your ribs, lengthen up and reach your sits bones down. Good. So that at the end of that exhale, she’s really connected and her diaphragm has done its job when she exhaled it’s actually attached to some lumbar spine, and as she exhales and her diaphragm comes up, it’s actually gonna create a little bit of space, an expansion, and get rid of some of the compression in the low back.

[button_1 text=”Still%20Haven%26rsquo%3Bt%20tried%20Gyrotonic%3F%20Click%20Here%20for%20a%20FREE%20TASTER%26nbsp%3B%C2%BB” text_size=”26″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_font=”Open Sans;google” text_letter_spacing=”0″ subtext_panel=”N” text_shadow_panel=”Y” text_shadow_vertical=”1″ text_shadow_horizontal=”1″ text_shadow_color=”#333333″ text_shadow_blur=”2″ styling_width=”20″ styling_height=”15″ styling_border_color=”#000000″ styling_border_size=”0″ styling_border_radius=”6″ styling_border_opacity=”100″ styling_gradient_start_color=”#ffaf10″ drop_shadow_panel=”N” inset_shadow_panel=”N” align=”center” href=”/gyrotonic-free-taster/”/]

[vertical_spacing height=”20″]

This is something that you can do in the car if you’re driving your kids around, or stuck in traffic, or just if you feel yourself kinda breathing shallowly, you can just check in and do a few of these breaths, and I think it will make you feel a lot better.
