GYROTONIC®

Exercising with GYROTONIC® equipment is a cutting-edge fitness discipline developed in the 1980’s by Juliu Horvath, a former principal dancer with the Romanian State Opera. It’s designed to lengthen and strengthen muscles, stimulate circulation, and enhance flexibility, joint mobility, and coordination. Like Pilates, Gyrotonic emphasizes synchronizing your breath with the movements you perform on specialized equipment—in this case the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. Unlike Pilates, which is based on finite, linear movements, Gyrotonic exercise fosters flowing, circular, multidimensional motions, drawing on aspects of yoga, dance, Tai Chi, and swimming. In the fitness realm, it has followed the same path as Pilates; becoming popular among dancers, athletes, and physical therapists before catching on with the general public.

GYROKINESIS® the Essentials of Body Kinetics™

GYROKINESIS® methodology is a group class that emphasizes and teaches the principles also done on GYROTONIC® equipment, but these exercises are performed with a stool and mat. This system works the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movements. The methodology systematically works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating exercises. Postures are not held for long periods of time. Instead, postures are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath.
