The  GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® Methods

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

The Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods are what taught me to love and respect my body.  Previously, I had used exercise as a punishment or way to force my body into submission.  Even in yoga classes, I would strive for the perfect pose, and because of the stationary nature of the poses and my naturally flexible body, I could force myself into them.  One day, I pushed too far and pulled a muscle, and Gyrotonic is what I used to put myself back together.   

The brilliance of Gyrotonic is that it’s inherently a process--one of constant integration.  The rhythmic nature of it allows you to continually work deeper with each repetition in order to build deep, functional strength in your body.  This rhythmic movement simultaneously works on muscular, skeletal, nervous, and energetic systems of the body, leaving you feeling invigorated, refreshed, and more at home in your body. 

The applications of the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods are so vast, they are great for all ages and all bodies—from 86 year olds to professional athletes and dancers. They simultaneously create sustainable strength, flexibility, and coordination, which are applicable to whatever you decided—better posture, less pain in general, more power behind your golf or tennis swing. What it boils down to is how far and how deep you want to go.
