Gyrotonic Expansion System®
Energy moves where the mind moves and the mind moves where there is a directed intention.
The Gyrotonic Expansion System® approaches the body as an integrated, dynamic system, rather than isolating body parts.
The Gyrotonic Expansion System is served by series of specially designed exercise equipment, which was built around the human body with regards to total freedom in movement and no restriction to speed and versatility and which would enhance the awareness of coordination, strength and flexibility.
The GYROTONIC® method properly distributes the supporting and resisting forces, so as to "teach" the body to move effortlessly in every direction, without overloading it.
It also increases the circulation thru aerobic and cardiovascular stimulation, circulation of blood, the lymphatic liquids and circulation of energy.
Regular and mindful practice leads to lasting change. Repeated movements become healthy patterns that help the body respond naturally and protect itself from strain and injury.
The Gyrotonic® Method creates more space within the body and helps us gradually move beyond our physical limitations. It teaches movement that originates from the body’s center, reducing unnecessary tension and allowing us to move with greater ease and freedom.
The Gyrotonic method can also:
-
Strengthen and lengthen the body simultaneously
-
Deeply activate and strengthen the core muscles
-
Build an intelligent connection between the core, legs, and upper body
-
Elongate and decompress the spine
-
Create spiraling, rotational movement through the spine
-
Opens the chest cavity
-
Improves joint mobility and stability, including in cases of osteoarthritis
The human body is not a collection of separate pieces — it is a highly sophisticated structure designed for fluid, three-dimensional movement. When movement is circular, spiraling, and coordinated through the whole body, strength and mobility develop simultaneously.
This is holistic movement: training the body the way it was designed to function.
