The GYROKINESIS® Method
The definition of the Greek word "gyro" means circle, and the word "kinesis" means movement/motion. Thus, the gyrokinesis exercise is based on circular movement, mobilizing and articulating the natural range of joints and ligaments, while exercising the musculature without jarring or compression.
Gyrokinesis exercise 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.
Class starts sitting on a stool, where we will awaken the senses, and begin to explore our connection to our spine. Slowly we will build upon these movements, adding coordination of limbs and the rest of the body. Then there will be some floor work on a yoga mat to integrate the lower half of the body, and well as standing exercises.
There is an emphasis on the breathwork throughout the entire class, which will be guided to help create ease and efficiency with movement, as well as circulate energy and more oxygen throughout the body.
Benefits of the Methods:
Increased core and postural strength
Decompression of the joints and vertebrae

The GYROTONIC® Method
Gyrotonic sessions are 60 minutes long and will help you feel more relaxed, open, and strong, in a very gentle way.
Gyrotonic evolved from Gyrokinesis exercises, using customized designed equipment - the Gyrotonic Pulley Tower Combination Unit - a sophisticated system of pulleys designed to embrace the natural movement patterns of the human body. It allows total freedom in movement with maximum adjustability to the range of motion and controllability of positioning, enhancing awareness of coordination, strength, and flexibility. It offers the same pleasurable and healthy resistance like water with an actual reference point in order to maintain functional movement and correctness of positioning.
Gyrotonic sessions begin by creating a meditative tone to connect with the body, through breathing exercises and gentle movements, and eventually carrying out more complex and whole body movements
The equipment and pace is very adaptable and customizable to each individual.
