The
GYROTONIC®
Method
The
GYROKINESIS®
Method
The GYROTONIC® Method which is performed on specially designed equipment, is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire person by opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency. With Gyrotonic exercises, 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.
The GYROTONIC® Method was developed encompassing five distinct pieces of equipment:
THE PULLEY TOWER COMB UNIT
THE JUMPING STRETCH BOARD
THE GYROTONER®
THE ARCHWAY
THE LEG EXTENSION UNIT
Each piece of equipment provides a very specific movement environment for complete whole-body workouts. Hundreds of exercises allow for unlimited variations in a lesson plan. Originally, all five machines were meant to offer a circuit training with the pulley tower combination unit as the central piece. The other four are considered “Specialized Equipment.”
People from all walks of life take Gyrotonic classes, including fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, accomplished athletes, and people recovering from an injury or living with a disability. Gyrotonic exercises help athletes improve their performance and rehabilitation clients recover more quickly and fully post injury.
The GYROKINESIS® Method is practiced on a mat and 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.The GYROKINESIS® Method holds the same principles of the Gyrotonic method. It is like a dance or yoga class, as it is taught in a group setting. It creates functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method that coordinates movement, breath, and mental focus. But unlike a yoga class, there is no position holding or potential for energetic stagnation. By the end of a Gyrokinesis session, one's entire system is awakened and brought into greater balance. Focus on the breath stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system resulting in a sense of calm, well-being, and mental clarity.
