GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS®
The GYROTONIC Method fits the needs of all ages and abilities, from elderly patients recovering from injury, to highly skilled professional athletes.
It is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire person, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength, and movement efficiency.
With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.
The GYROKINESIS Method is a movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences.
Gyrokinesis classes can be adapted to fit anyone's ability. People from all walks of life including accomplished athletes, fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, and people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability take Gyrokinesis classes.
By the end of a Gyrokinesis session, one's entire system is awakened and brought into greater balance.
Focus on the breath stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system resulting in a sense of calm, well being and mental clarity.
It is an original and unique method, which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.

Pelvic Floor Health
Pelvic Floor Health Applications is a movement-based class that educates both men and women on pelvic floor maintenance and prevention of all-to-common complications of pelvic functioning. The class is safe and beneficial for those suffering from incontinence, chronic pain, prolapse or prostate issues. Participants will leave with new awareness and understanding of optimum pelvic function, along with concepts of everyday application to promote self-healing.
Pre & Post Natal Applications
Exercising using the GYROTONIC® Method during pregnancy provides the perfect system of support for the prenatal or postpartum woman by relieving lower back strain, fatigue and constipation.
Pregnant women may experience increased blood circulation and oxygen to the body, and improved stamina for the birthing process. Using the GYROTONIC® Method is the ideal way for mothers to prepare the body and mind, and having a strong pelvic floor assists childbirth.
The Gyrotonic trainer's goal is to provide physical awareness, balance, comfort and strength throughout this deeply transformative phase in a woman's life.
The exercises are gentle enough to continue right up until the due date, alleviating varicose veins, incontinence and leg swelling. Postpartum women may recover abdominal strength and toning more rapidly, relieve upper body tension from carrying the baby, and quickly regain strength and energy.
The large circular movements, traction supplied by the weights, and the natural wave motions are very well suited for the ever-changing pregnant body.
The goal in mind - a beautiful pregnancy, a fabulous delivery, and a healthy, supported transition into motherhood.
