GYROTONIC® method
GYROKINESIS® Class
The Gyrokinesis Method 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 that coordinates movement, breath, and mental focus.
The Gyrokinesis Method is practiced on a mat and chair without equipment. Without the feedback and guidance of equipment, participants in a Gyrokinesis class are more dependent on their own proprioception to explore movement sequences.
Beginners welcome!

GYROTONIC® Exercise Explained
Juliu Horvath leads a GYROKINESIS® class
The freedictionary.com defines “gyro” as a rotating mechanism in the form of a universally mounted spinning wheel that offers resistance to turns in any direction. In a Gyrotonic class, our full bodies, from the external to the deepest internal, become that spinning mechanism. Juliu Horvath, the creator of the system, invented the Gyrotonic Pulley Tower Combination unit and four other main pieces of specialized equipment.
GYROTONIC® exercises = using special equipment
GYROKINESIS® Class = group workout using a stool and a mat.
Much like yoga or tai chi, the Gyrotonic method allows a student to enter the movement within their own comfort zone while offering the possibility of moving past blockages. The universal motions offered, such as the spinal waves, can help to awaken the body’s inner intelligence system.
Gyrotonic movements help to create trust that your body already knows what to do to unlock the mysteries of chronic pain or aches.
People who have movement experience in swimming, T’ai Chi, gymnastics, dance, or yoga will find common elements in a Gyrotonic session. Gyrotonic exercises can help people with limited mobility to reach new places of possibility and has shown great success working with professional dancers and athletes. In a class, we focus on breath, coordinating movements, learning sequences, and moving multiple areas of the body at once.
Don’t wait until you are “fit” or “in shape” to begin your work with us! Even if you are post-rehab, find increased flexibility, strength, and joint decompression through the wavelike and smooth motions of Gyrotonic exercise.
