What is it?

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. It is an original and unique method, which coordinates movement, breath and mental focus.

GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® exercises are both based upon the same movement principles and philosophies. The GYROTONIC® method utilizes specialized equipment to help guide, assist, and challenge the exerciser. The GYROKINESIS® method is practiced with just a mat and a chair- without the feedback and guidance of the equipment, participants are more dependent on their own proprioception to explore movement sequences.
