Instructor Profile

2025 Instructor lineup
Briana

Briana Kline is the founder of Roots of Integrity, Holistic Fitness and Wellness and lives in Goshen, KY; she teaches at her home studio and in Louisville. Briana has been in the movement teacher world for over 25 years. Her teaching passions have evolved from dance, to yoga, to Pilates, then GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC®. The evolution moved her work from being very choreography and biomechanical, and through work in rehab with the Spinal Cord Injury community developing a deep awareness and strong understanding of neurological components to movements, to now seeing the GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS work through a lens of our energetic pathways and understanding the deep importance of our nervous system and energies in and around us.

Briana and her 2 boys were thrilled to attend PlayThnk Festival last year and now she is inspired to bring GYROKINESIS movement to the festival. GYROKINSIS movement is achievable for anyone, the workshop(s) held at PlayThink will be geared for those 13 years of age and up. She will move every part of your body from your hair to your toes. With a focus on “awakening the senses” and moving the spine in all directions your body will release the stagnant energy that may be trapped. There will be a focus on breathing, and different breathing patterns to help move the body energetically and bring blood flow to your brain and entire system. You will leave feeling awake, energized, and tuned into your personal power and your body. Her intuition and eye for movement will leave you feeling heard, seen, and inspired.

GYROKINESIS® awakening the senses and freeing up space
With work on a mat and a small stool you will explore your bodies potential to have more space and awareness, while freeing up stagnant energy. You will move from your toes to the top of your head and bring space in the your spine, joints, and even your tissues. You will move your body from an awareness of how energy moves through your body. You will leave feeling more awake, aware and alive! This class is appropriate for anyone 13+ or children that can follow instructions, and stay on task
