Developed by Juliu Horvath more than twenty years ago, this low impact fitness program incorporates movement patterns based on key principles of ballet, swimming, gymnastics and yoga which greatly increase flexibility and range of motion whilst simultaneously toning and strengthening the body.

Gyrotonic methodology is a fitness system that engages the spine and the rest of the body to help it move with flow in variable circular patterns. The prefix gyro is derived from the Greek word for spiral: tonic refers to the physical, mental and emotional healing that this work can promote.

Exercising muscles while mobilizing and conditioning ligaments, joints, internal organs and body systems, Gyrotonic movements simultaneously stretches, strengthens and gently rotates the body with wavelike movements that increase the functionality of the spine and joints.

Introduced to our studio in November 2004, this method conditions the body from the deeper tissues outward. The unique pulley-tower system utilizes friction and weight stacks to resist and/or assist the body in moving through ranges of motion that may not be achievable without assistance.

Based on smooth, circular, flowing movements that incorporate breathing techniques, the Gyrotonic motion patterns enable the body to move in a three dimensional way that is consistent with the design of the human body. Spiraling motions and joint-articulating movements are designed to correct faulty posture and compensatory movement patterns.
