Increased spinal mobility
Increased strength, flexibility and stability
Improved posture
Increased body awareness
Better coordination
Increased respiratory function
Better circulation
Faster muscle recovery
Increased energy and vitality
Increased range of motion
Healthier joint function
A feeling of the body in better balance
The GYROTONIC®
Method
The Gyrotonic method is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength. Gyrotonic exercise sequences are composed of spiraling, circular movements which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions with corresponding breath patterns. Each movement flows into the next allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.

SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT
The body is naturally designed to work as one harmonious system, to follow arcing and spiraling paths of motion and to transition from one movement to the next smoothly and efficiently.
The specialized line of Gyrotonic equipment supports these natural movement patterns. Sophisticated adjustments allow Gyrotonic Trainers to adapt the equipment to the ideal setting for each person’s unique physique, adapting for things such as height, arm and leg length, natural range of motion and physical ability.
FOR EVERYONE
Gyrotonic classes are adapted to fit anyone’s ability from those recovering from injury or living with a disability to elite athlete.
The GYROKINESIS® Method
The Gyrokinesis method addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.
FOR EVERYONE
Gyrokinesis classes are adapted to fit each student’s age, needs and abilities from those recovering from injury or living with a disability to elite athletes.
GETTING STARTED
The Gyrokinesis method is practiced on a mat and a chair, without equipment. Without the feedback and guidance of equipment, participants in a Gyrokinesis class are more dependent on their own proprioception to explore movement sequences.
Benefits
The GYROTONIC® methodology
The Gyrotonic methodology uses your body’s natural spherical and spiraling movement patterns to decompress and strengthen your entire spine. Not only is your spine the foundation for all movement; many believe it is the structural foundation for good health.
The GYROTONIC® workout
The Gyrotonic workout consists of progressively challenging exercise modules that promote joint mobility. Its multi-directional, circular movements make you less vulnerable to injuries, stress and micro-traumas by increasing your spinal column functional ability. Being able to complete multiple joint movements without compression gives the body extraordinary flexibility and capability.
The GYROTONIC® principles
At the practice’s heart are seven spinal movement principles which also stimulate the nervous system, creating a sense of balance in the body: bending forward - extending backward - side-bending the right - side-bending to the left - rotating to the right - rotating to the left - articulated, circular motion. Gyrotonic principles offer similar benefits also found in yoga, dance, swimming and martial arts. Through speed and endurance variations, you can create an actual simulation of sport activity.
The GYROTONIC® program
The program uses undulating and rhythmical exercises to work systematically and softly on joints and muscles, building core and lean muscle strength, while nourishing the body with focused breath work. Every exercise is synchronized with a specific type of breathing pattern, which builds breathing endurance. Advanced programs utilize both delicate and vigorous cardiovascular and aerobic rhythms.
