Gyrotonic®

Gyrotonic Expansion System

Gyrotonic® combines core strengthening with flowing, circular movement and breath to stimulate the body's energetic centers and internal organs while mobilizing and conditioning all the muscles and joints of the body. "People can easily become inspired to study Gyrotonic long term" comments Dilla, "there are so many layers of discovery both within yourself and within the method". "At first you just enjoy the healthy feeling that comes with doing the exercises, like yawning and stretching every part of yourself. Later, when you develop a more intimate rapport with your own breath and movement, you advance into a more vigorous, cardiovascular work-out.

The Gyrotonic Apparatus

Gyrotonic® is practiced on an apparatus known as the Combination Pulley/Tower Unit. Using the apparatus, the student performs movements likened to swimming, ballet, and martial arts, while the equipment provides the resistance and support. Its design promotes freedom of motion, allowing you to transcend the limits of weight bearing positions with no impact on the joints, much like exercising in water. At the same time, you will be developing the internal strength necessary for creating a healthy, toned, injury-free body.

Gyrokinesis

Gyrokinesis is the non-equipment component of the Gyrotonic® Expansion System. Using a simple stool and a mat, clients follow a rhythmic sequence of exercises designed to facilitate a complete unfolding of the entire body. The class has three distinctive parts, explains Dilla, "We begin with 'Awakening the Body for Movement' a series of techniques you do for yourself to tonify vital pressure points and stimulate the nervous system from the outside in. Next you begin moving through a sequence of movements to exercise the spine in every direction possible, creating warmth and flexibility from the inside out. Finally, when the body is warm, the class works on more challenging exercises to cultivate strength in the core and upper body while developing suppleness in the muscles and joints of the legs.
