Athletes (Golf, Tennis, Dance, etc) can use the Gyrotonic Method to improve their movement and strength.
What is the Gyrokinesis® method?
The GYROKINESIS® Method is a movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original and unique method, which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus. The exercises begin on a stool, continue on the floor and end up in a standing position.
The seated exercises gently awaken the senses and nervous system. The spiral motions in rhythm that arch, curl, spiral and side bend the body give you the delicious feeling of an internal body massage. Arms, legs and hips are worked to open meridian pathways.
GYROKINESIS® classes can be adapted to fit anyone’s ability. People from all walks of life including accomplished athletes, fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens and people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability, take GYROKINESIS® classes. 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, wellbeing and mental clarity.
“The ultimate aim is to be at home in one’s body, to be at one with the nature of oneself, and to experience exercise as a creative and delightful experience.”
What are Gyrotonic® exercises?
The human body is designed to work as one harmonious system, to follow arcing and spiraling paths of motion, and to transition from one movement to the next smoothly and efficiently.
GYROTONIC® Method creator, Juliu Horvath, designed specialised equipment around these natural movement patterns. GYROTONIC® equipment is a highly adjustable weight and pulley system that can be customised to fit each person’s unique physique and ability.
The GYROTONIC® Method is unique and is based on principles of yoga, dance and tai chi. It addresses the entire person, increasing range of motion and improving strength and movement efficiency. Each movement flows seamlessly into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. Rhythmic repetitions correspond with your breathing and carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.
“Intention is the driving force that moves the body”
