We tend to feel tight, tense, and out of touch with our bodies in modern life. Sedentary hours at a desk, repetitive motion and even tension can lead to pain and restricted movement. GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® are a breath of fresh movement that opens up flexibility, strengthens, and re-establishes natural fluidity in the body.
What’s Special About GYROTONIC® And GYROKINESIS®?
Both practices enhance spinal mobility, joint health, and wholeness in the entire body. GYROTONIC® is an exercise system unlike any other, in that it allows your body to build deep internal strength while at the same time experiencing states of spaciousness, freedom, and flowing movement in everything you do. It uses specialized equipment that induces movement in flowing, curved paths, GYROKINESIS® uses the same principles but is done on the mat or on a stool without any special equipment. What you get is an organic, captivating, highly effective practice.
Why These Movements Matter

Poor posture and back pain are common issues, especially for those who spend hours sitting. GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® emphasize spinal articulation and core engagement, helping to realign posture and ease tension in the back and shoulders. - Builds Strength without adding bulk
Unlike isolated weight training, these exercises train the entire body as opposed to focusing on individual muscle groups. You build long, lean tone without the associated stiffness that may result from classical weight exercises. - It increases coordination and balance
Through flowing, rhythmical patterns, these exercises enhance coordination, balance, and body awareness, facilitating easy, efficient movement in daily activities. - Enhances Mental Clarity and Relaxation

By facilitating natural, cyclical movement, these systems lubricate joints, enhance mobility, and minimize stiffness. This makes them an ideal solution for people who are recovering from injuries or wish to keep their joints in optimal health as they age. - Assistance in Recovery and Rehabilitation
