WHO CAN DO GYROTONIC?
Gyrotonic exercises are highly adaptable making them accessible to almost everyone regardless of age or physical ability including those with disabilities to professional athletes.
HOW DO THE EXERCISES WORK?
Gyrotonic methodology utilizes a smooth, pulley and weight resistance system which prevents jarring start and stop movements creating a flowing rhythm as if you were supported in water. The 360 degree range of motion, in all dimensions, allows full articulation of stabilized joints and develops flexibility and strength. All major muscle groups are worked interdependently with the use of corresponding breathing patterns. This is a complete system of movement that originates from the spine and follows the natural energy lines in the body.
HOW MANY CLASSES ARE RECOMMENDED TO SEE RESULTS?
I typically suggest taking classes 2-3x/week to notice significant progress.
WHAT TO WEAR?
Wear comfortable clothes that allow for ease of movement, and clean socks are required.
WHY IS SPIRALING MOTION IMPORTANT?
We are designed to take advantage of the rotational nature of our body. The exercises are performed in undulating, spiraling and circular movements that help release stiffness and increase range of motion in the joints while building muscular, tendon and ligament connections. Gyrotonic movements support natural body mechanics to awaken the entire nervous system, stimulate and massage internal organs, and revitalize available energy.
