Pilates, MELT®, GYROTONIC®, & GYROKINESIS® exercise can address the needs of just about anyone — pre/post-natal, dancers, athletes, people looking for a bridge between rehabilitation and full recovery, maturing adults looking to maintain quality of life, and anyone looking for core & full body fitness and wellness.
What Is GYROTONIC®?
The GYROTONIC® Expansion System is a is three-dimensional, multi-planar movement taught on unique weight and pulley-based equipment. Founded by Juliu Horvath, drawing on the principles of yoga, dance, tai chi, and swimming, GYROTONIC® training incorporates circular and fluid exercises that work the entire body and all its systems through muscular, skeletal, nervous, lymphatic and circulatory stimulation. Benefits of a GYROTONIC® practice include increased flexibility, strength, coordination, and balance.
What Is GYROKINESIS®?
GYROKINESIS® upholds the same principles of GYROTONIC®, but is done on a stool and mat rather than equipment. Reminiscent of a dance or yoga class - flow, rhythm and breath are key components to the curriculum. Adding upon the benefits of GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS® is a holistic movement practice in a mobile workout that can be easily performed anywhere.
