How Gyrotonic Movement Works

Move your hand back and forth in water and you must remain very active to keep it going. The water reflects the chaotic, random energy pattern you've created. Now move in a circle, and soon the water carries your hand along for you, requiring less forceful effort and more refined, responsive movement. This simple, yet powerful principle is promoted in the human body through Gyrotonic exercises and equipment.

GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM WORKOUT
Our bodies are designed to move and rotate in all directions, not just in straight lines. This unique exercise system integrates breath with movement while taking the body through its full 3-dimensional range of motion. Building a strong abdominal core supports larger, more fluid movement possibilities in our limbs and spine. Simultaneously building strength and flexibility, this state-of-the-art workout enables the whole body to work together in harmony with its structural design.

Gyrotonic was first developed by Julio Horvath for training the exacting bodies of professional dancers. Many chiropractors and orthopedists around the world regard it as more ergonomically sound than most other fitness, conditioning and physical therapy options. Circular movement is possible in limitless directions and range. Clients build strength and flexibility without joint strain or compression, maintain and enhance postural integrity, and gently stimulate injured areas.

The training you receive at Kinese is extremely high quality, specific, and in-depth. Gyrotonic exercises are performed on beautifully crafted machines sculpted from wood. The unusual pulley system gives continuous resistance that’s similar to the pleasant feeling of moving through water. And the workout increases overall strength, coordination, flexibility and fluid control without building tension or bulk

This physical training system has been shown to develop strength and resilience in ligaments, tendons, muscles, and joints. The body’s energy system (the meridians used in acupuncture) is also stimulated, enhancing balance, well being, and overall health. And the increased oxygenation created through the breathing patterns boosts metabolism and elevates mood. Clients consistently report feeling better both physically and mentally after their sessions. The Gyrotonic workout helps integrate body and mind, promoting the inner calm often felt after meditating.

Expert trainers will work one-on-one with you to develop and coach you through your personal program that is tailored to your specific needs, goals, and desires. We also offer duet sessions, or if you wish to work toward independent workouts, we can assess and help develop your ability to safely perform your program and manage the equipment without a trainer’s undivided attention and help.
