About Gyrotonic®
Gyrotonic®
methodology is one of the most modern training systems, consisting
in modules of exercises based upon multi-directional and
spherical movement. Invented in the early eighties in the
United States, by Hungarian dancer Juliu Horvath, it is now spreading across the globe as an indispensable instrument to
exalt physical excellence in all sport disciplines.
Gyrotonic® principles embrace key elements also found in yoga, dance, swimming and martial arts. They work systematically and softly on joints and muscles by means of
undulating and rhythmical exercises, during which no part of the body
remains inactive: the entire joint system, as well as the organs and
tonic muscle structures, are involved. Thanks to Gyrotonic® principles, athletes can train themselves through spacial spherical movements that allow one to lengthen, and simultaneously develop, his or her body, and to maintain constant conscious control of the movement. Through speed and endurance variations, one
can create an actual simulation of sport activity. Every exercise is also
synchronized with a specific breathing pattern, which
facilitates cardiovascular and aerobic rhythms (delicate or vigorous),
according to the performance intensity and speed.
Gyrotonic® movements focus special attention on increasing functional ability of the spinal column,
which thereby becomes much less vulnerable to injuries. Furthermore, it reduces
the possibility of suffering from stress or micro-traumas, giving one’s
physical constitution extraordinary flexibility and capability.
Thanks to increasing attention by the international medical and scientific community, Gyrotonic® methodology
asserts itself all around the globe as one of the best techniques of
physical rehabilitation. Directed towards the functional recovery of
professional athletes, dancers, and the general public, it is an excellent means for
re-establishing structural and functional well-being.
Juliu
Horvath’s specially designed equipment, created from wood, aluminum, and
handcrafted components, allows one to enjoy continuous freedom of
movement in all directions possible for the human body.
Gyrotonic® training is ideal for all body types and skill levels:
Gyrokinesis®
"GYROKINESIS® exercises allow one to work on the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement: forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist, right twist and circular, as well as all other joint articulation. This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating movements. These movements stimulate the body's internal organs while different corresponding breathing patterns are integrated along with the movements.
"A typical GYROKINESIS® class begins with participants practicing self-massage and simple breathing patterns, something Juliu Horvath has named, "Awakening of the Senses." Then the spine and pelvis are engaged through simple exercises: while seated on low stools, participants mobilize the spine through a series of arching, curling, bending, twisting and spiraling movements. These same movement patterns are expanded to release the hip, knee, hamstring, quadriceps and so on, in all possible directions: front, back, twisting and turning. The corresponding breathing patterns executed during every movement stimulate the nervous system, open up the energy pathways and oxygenate the blood. The more advanced classes offer endurance training to participants prepared for more strenuous activities. All GYROKINESIS® classes, from beginner to advanced, encompass not only sitting but also laying and standing positions.
"Those who practice GYROKINESIS® exercises tend to be more relaxed in their daily lives and can move with increased flexibility and ease."
