Gyrotonic® Method

It is a modality of exercises that incorporates the fundamentals of Dance, Gymnastics, Yoga, Tai Chi and Swimming.

The exercises are performed with specialised equipment among which the most widely used is the “Pulley Tower Combination Unit”: it provides smooth, even support and resistance via a unique weighted pulley system and can be customised to fit the individual proportions and movement capacities of each user. The design of the equipment supports the full and natural range of motion of the joints, allowing for three dimensional, functional movement and eliminating the sharp starts and stops where most injuries occur.

During the sequence of exercises, muscles are simultaneously lengthened and strengthened, stimulating circulation, enhancing joint mobility and coordination.

The GYROTONIC® method is an original and unique movement method that enables simultaneous lengthening and strengthening of muscles, stimulates circulation, enhances joint mobility and coordination.  GYROTONIC® exercise sequences are composed of spiraling, circular movements, which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions, with corresponding breathing patterns.

The GYROTONIC® method is ideal for sports training to gain flexibility, correct postural imbalances and relieve tension, providing a state of profound well-being.

Within Feelharmony studio, GYROTONIC® classes have a duration of 1 hour. I offer individual or duo classes to guarantee quality, personalised coaching.

During the same year, I also followed the therapeutic pre and post natal programme within the GYROTONIC® method.
