gyrotonic method
The Gyrotonic method is a movement modality that contains similar elements to those found in yoga, but it is not derived from yoga. It links movement with breath, working to increase the natural flexibility of the spine and simultaneously strengthening and stretching the musculature.
What makes it different from yoga is that it is less linear and more 3 dimensional, with a greater emphasis on spiralling and twisting.
Holistic in nature, Gyrotonic exercises address the body, mind and the emotions. The movements promote a tremendous sense of well-being, delivering increased energy, greater mind-body awareness, long, lean muscles, improved posture and a strong core.
The Gyrotonic method uses specialised equipment to take the body beyond its limitations, the principle piece of equipment used being the Pulley Tower.
The Gyrotonic method delivers powerful cross training for all, including yogis, dancers and athletes. Plus, because it is low impact, Gyrotonic exercises are also highly beneficial for people of a certain age, pre and post-natal women and those recovering from injuries.
Benefits include:
• Spinal mobility
• Strong abdominals
• Long, lean muscle development
• Increased range of motion
• Improved posture
• Improved co-ordination
• Relief and prevention of chronic injuries
• Increased energy levels
Gyrotonic sessions on the Pulley Tower are predominantly one-on-one, although semi-private* classes are also available.
