What is the GYROTONIC® method?
The Gyrotonic Method is a unique movement method that combines elements of yoga, dance, gymnastics, tai chi, and swimming. It was developed by Juliu Horvath, a former ballet dancer, in the 1980s.
The method involves performing a series of exercises on specially designed equipment known as the Gyrotonic Expansion System. The equipment consists of a pulley tower, which features weighted pulleys, rotational discs, and an adjustable bench or seat.
The Gyrotonic Method aims to increase strength, flexibility, coordination, and overall body awareness. It focuses on fluid, circular movements that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. The exercises are designed to create balanced and coordinated movements, enhance joint mobility, and improve spinal alignment.
The Gyrotonic Method is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. It can be customized to meet individual needs and goals, making it beneficial for rehabilitation, athletic conditioning, stress reduction, and general fitness.
Practitioners of the Gyrotonic Method often describe it as a holistic movement system that not only enhances physical fitness but also promotes mental and emotional well-being. It emphasizes breath control, mindfulness, and the connection between the mind and body.
It's worth noting that while the Gyrotonic Method can provide numerous benefits, it is always advisable to seek guidance from a certified Gyrotonic instructor to ensure proper technique and safety.
