About
Athletic Studio GYMNASTIKA was created for a purpose – to teach American children to overcome the old and new pressures and pains of growing up.
ABOUT
GYMNASTIKA
Challenged by peers, bad eating habits, erratic sleep patterns, lack of mobility and Covid pandemic, the young are facing forces seemingly beyond their own and even parental ability to cope with. That perception is false.
GYMNASTIKA is branded as an ‘athletic studio’ but it is only a part of what we do. We have the right methods and skills to train the physical body and change our student’s ABC’s – overall Attitudes-Body-Conduct.
ABC
Approach
The ABC approach was developed by Galyna Gorbis, the founder of GYMNASTIKA designed to build resilience and flexibility in the Body-Mind complex. In over two decades, it was successfully applied by hundreds of youngsters to overcome fears, improve self-image, fight anorexic or bulimic tendencies, gaming and iPhone dependencies, and even asocial behaviors.
Our work does not end at the Studio as we partner with parents and assign individual home-practice work for the family to monitor and encourage.
WHAT WE DO
AND HOW WE DO IT?
- We teach our students individual competence and that means loving what they are capable of at any stage of their lives and then building on it in search of one’s happiness.
- We teach our students freedom from fears as most of them are transient – born from comparing ourselves to whomever happens to be around us.
- We give them tools of self-knowledge and build skills of self-confidence and self-improvement regardless of where they go and whatever they do later in life. The more competent they are in confronting their mind attitudes and controlling their body, the less fear of succeeding they harbor in their mind.
- We teach our students the priorities of defeat – they cannot defeat anyone unless they learn to defeat their inner enemies, self-indulgence and self-doubt.
- We teach our students the priorities of happiness – they cannot make anyone (coaches, parents, teammates) ‘’happy’’ unless they learn how to be happy with themselves. To become automatic, this must be practiced and we provide you with the guidance and rules on how to fight for control of whatever makes you happy.
- We also assign you home work for training your body and mind to reduce the power of unhappiness in your life.
- None of this means that you practice your ABC’s in physical isolation from others who may interact, disturb, distract and annoy us. Just the opposite. You learn mental isolation, and find your inner focus in small groups. There we learn how to achieve mental freedom from responding to the Presence of Others. As we put our bodies through rigorous synchronization of movements, we lose our perceptions of differences with others. It does not matter who is taller, fatter, or smaller. It makes no difference if you or anyone else is better.
- Synchronization means doing exactly what all do when all do it, for as long as it takes to still your mind and let the body take over. Body has a lot to teach your mind about focus. And mental focus is the skill of ignoring what does not matter.
- In short, our graduates know how not to give in to the Presence of Others and not to give up Our graduates are guided by the spirit of self-acceptance and the love of self-improvement. Others call this resilience. We call it an ABC path to self-assuredness but this path is not a free-fall into self-forgiveness . It takes work and commitment framed by adherence of the newcomers and their parents’ to our protocols and rules.
