The GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® Methods

 
 
 

GYROTONIC® training was designed by ex-Hungarian dancer Juliu Horvath and it challenges your body to move in new ways.

Rather than the linear movement of Pilates, the GYROTONIC® Method creates circular motions which incorporate an entire body movement. The continuous circular and rhythmical movements gently undulate the spine, lengthen muscles and creates space in the joints improving spinal flexibility, circulation and joint restriction.

 

The GYROTONIC® Method combines elements from dance, yoga, swimming, and Tai Chi so that it not only promotes flexibility and coordination but also works in an organic way to strengthen the mind and body from inside out.

When Juliu was creating the Method he listened to what his body was feeling internally and built the movements around this. He believes if we listen to our bodies and participate intelligently we all have an energy within our own bodies. The circular motions revitalize the body, release blockages and stimulate the nervous system.

The training therefore not only makes your body look better, it actually creates an overall feeling of well being.

What is the difference between Pilates and the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Methods?

Pilates focuses on a diagnostic approach to restructuring the musculoskeletal system and concentrates on correcting postural and muscular imbalances specific to the needs of individual clients.

GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Methods are designed to work the body and its system as a whole. A rotational multi-directional movements are performed to increase flexibility and strength, culminating in an organic rejuvenation and increased vitality and vigour.

GYROKINESIS® is the essence of the GYROTONIC® Method and provides the foundation for the equipment work without the use of the equipment. It is a complete workout performed on stools and floor work on mats. It begins by working through the natural elements of spinal movement sitting on a stool, then progresses to floor work, connecting the upper and lower body, hip mobilisation, back extension series, and finishes on the floor with an abdominal series. The class comes to a conclusion with an unwinding series of exercises designed to reconnect back to your "seed centre" and re-balance your energy.
