What is Gyrotonics?
from Yoga & Spa
A system of specific movements using dynamic, core stability stretching, strengthening the muscles, decompressing the spine and joints of elite and recreational athletes, elders, pre and post-natal mothers and those recovering from injury and disease. This system, works for all types of people with all types of issues. The methodology has two components: the GYROKINESIS® exercise program, originally called “Yoga for Dancers,” which works the entire body without equipment by stimulating internal organs through fluid and gentle manipulation of multiple joints; and GYROTONIC® exercise, which uses apparatus that permits the person to move with support and resistance. Both forms of exercise allow the body to work in continuous, flowing movements and are synchronized with corresponding breathing patterns.
