“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.”

- Juliu Horvath, creator of the GYROTONIC® method

The GYROTONIC® Method is a unique approach to movement that incorporates the mind, body, and spirit. It includes a system of exercises, each flowing seamlessly to the next, which enables the joints to move through their natural range of motion without harsh articulations or compression. Designed to open up the body in a supportive and safe manner, each exercise sequence is composed of spiraling, circular movements with corresponding rhythmic breath patterns that leave the body feeling awakened and revived.

The GYROTONIC® method is for everyone, from elite athletes to those just starting their wellness journey. A consistent GYROTONIC® practice has been shown to offer many benefits, such as:

-    Improved posture and core strength

-    Enhanced mobility of the spine

-    Stronger and more flexible muscles

-    Increased range of motion and joint stability

-    Improved athleticism and agility

-    Enhanced focus and energy

-    Improved balance, coordination and movement efficiency

 

The GYROTONIC® method can be adapted to the fit the needs of all ages and physical abilities, and has been shown as an effective therapeutic tool for many, including those struggling with back pain, tight muscles and tendons, shoulder and hip joint issues, nerve pain, and scoliosis, to name a few. In addition, since GYROTONIC® equipment is designed to enable the body to move freely while being fully supported, it is the perfect movement modality for those recovering from injury or healing post-surgery.
