You can’t strengthen what you can’t stretch.

Self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s part of your training.

Tight, stuck tissue limits how freely you move, and you can’t strengthen what you can’t stretch. Keeping your muscles and fascia supple helps you relax, and it lets you move through your full range so your strength work can go further.

The research is encouraging. Rolling and sustained pressure reliably improve range of motion without costing you strength, and they appear to reduce next-day soreness after a hard effort.

At RELEASE, A Myofascial Release Workshop, Susan Johnson will teach you how to release tension in your feet, hips, shoulders and upper back. You’ll leave with a 10-minute home practice that works well alongside your GYROTONIC® Exercise and yoga practice. It’s also a good antidote to all the tension December tends to bring.
Susan founded InsideOut Yoga in 2010. She leads retreats around the world and is currently training as a GYROTONIC® Instructor and a Yoga Medicine® Therapeutic Specialist.

NOVEMBER at Motion Studios🦃

10/30/2026

What happens when a dancer spends six years in a one-room hut on a Caribbean mountain?

In 1977, after his dance career ended, Juliu Horvath moved to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He built a small hut in the mountains and devoted himself to yoga and meditation. Out of those years came fresh insights into how the body moves and heals.

Back in New York, he began teaching what he first called “Yoga for Dancers.” As people of all ages and abilities flocked to his classes, he refined it further and developed the GYROTONIC® Method along with its signature GYROTONIC® equipment, designed to guide the body through fluid, circular, spiraling movements.

The result blends the breath and flow of Eastern practices with the strength and precision of Western training. It moves your spine in every direction, opens up your joints, and builds strength without strain.

Curious? Come feel it for yourself at Motion Studios, the largest studio in Virginia offering GYROTONIC® exercise.

Save Money + Same Great Guidance🖤

Love the idea of GYROTONIC® Exercise but not the price tag of private sessions? Join a group class instead.

Our Beginner Group Classes give you expert instruction, hands-on guidance, and the same foundational principles you’d learn in a private, at a fraction of the cost. Plus, you get the energy and encouragement of moving alongside others who are learning too.

And here’s a little secret: our beginner classes are often small. Some days you might get lucky and find yourself as the only one there, which means a private session for the price of a group class.

Every class builds your confidence on the equipment and moves you closer to our Intermediate Group Classes. For best results, we recommend coming twice a week.

📍Motion Studios
📅Tuesdays | 5:30 to 6:30pm with Sam Van Saun
📅Thursdays | 11:30am to 12:30pm with Susan Johnson
📅Fridays | 11am to noon with Sam Van Saun

✨Private Sound Bowl Sessions with Esther Heideman✨

Some healing is best experienced one-on-one.

For a fully personalized sound journey, book a private session with Esther Heideman of The Bowl Movement, held in a peaceful space just outside the studio, near downtown Kilmarnock.

You’ll lie on a specially designed treatment table with Tibetan singing bowls placed all around you and directly on your body. Because the body is largely water, the vibrations don’t just reach your ears. You’ll feel them ripple through you and resonate through the wood of the table beneath you.

This hour-long ancient practice is designed to realign body, mind, and spirit. Afterward, Esther shares where your energy felt low or stuck and offers simple suggestions for continuing that work at home, so the benefits stay with you long after you leave the table.

A thoughtful gift for yourself, or for someone you love, as the holidays approach🎁

📍Private location near downtown Kilmarnock
⏳60-minute personalized session

Yin Yoga🧘‍♂️

Autumn settles into the body. Stiff joints, heavy shoulders, a little extra tension we didn’t ask for.

Let’s melt it out. On Sunday, November 8th, Nathan Martin opens The Ultimate Reset with an hour of slow, warming movement designed for the season: long, mindful holds that coax open tight hips, release achy joints, and let the nervous system finally exhale.

Then stay grounded for a second hour of deep rest with acupuncture by Hannah Grice, L.Ac. and Tibetan singing bowls by Esther Heideman.

Every great movement method has an origin story. This one starts with a ballet dancer and a career-ending injury🩰

Juliu Horvath was born in Romania in 1942 and became a principal dancer with the Romanian National Ballet by age 21. While touring Italy in 1970, he defected, spent six months in a refugee camp, and eventually found his way to New York City, where he painted houses and even danced on cars in Central Park to get by.

His talent carried him to the New York City Opera, Radio City Music Hall, and finally to principal dancer with the Houston Ballet. Then he ruptured his Achilles tendon, and his dancing career was over.

But that setback became the starting point for something new. Searching for a way to heal and keep moving, Juliu turned inward, and what he discovered became the GYROTONIC® Method, now practiced around the world.

You can experience the method born from that journey right here in Kilmarnock. Motion Studios is the largest studio in Virginia offering GYROTONIC® Exercise, and we’d love to show you what it can do for your body.
