GYROTONIC® METHOD

Gyrotonic movements help to create trust that your body already knows what to do to unlock the mysteries of chronic pain or aches.

Don’t wait until you are “fit” or “in shape” to begin your routine! Find increased flexibility, strength, and joint decompression through the wavelike and smooth motions of Gyrotonic exercise.

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.
