Gyrotonic methodology is a totally new exercise system that expands on Gyrokinesis motion patterns with custom-designed machine equipment, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. Like Gyrokinesis, its goal is to exercise the musculature while mobilizing and articulating the joints. The Gyrotonic sequences simultaneously stretch and strengthen the body with minimal effort, while increasing range of motion and developing coordination. The exercise equipment is built around the human body, aiming at total freedom in movement without restricting speed and versatility. Each exercise is synchronized with a corresponding breathing pattern and is performed with either a rhythm or melodic rhythmical expression. This creates a gentle or vigorous cardiovascular-aerobic stimulation, depending on the intensity and speed of execution. Gyrotonic training is used worldwide by dancers, athletes, and rehabilitation facilities. It is also employed as a general conditioning program for people of all walks of life, from children to senior citizens.
Both Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic methods were designed to:
- Use motion; your body is intended to be dynamic.
- Improve your cardiovascular fitness.
- Encourage muscles to work together in a holistic fashion.
- Reduce stress and calm your mind.
- Aid in physical rehabilitation.
- Vastly improve dance performance.
- Provide new edge to sports and martial arts performance.
- Give depth and understanding to weight training.
