GYROTONIC® blends Tai Chi, Kundalini yoga, dance, and
swimming moves. Yoga breathing is coordinated with movements that,
like Pilates, originate in the inner core. However, unlike linear
Pilates, the motions are 3-D circular, spiraling, arching, curling
and undulating. Here, core stabilization is derived from oppositional
movements.
The lengthening feature of GYROTONIC®, combined with the rotational
movements it employs, makes it a great tool for people with scoliosis
and disc herniations, by creating traction to aid in the elongation
and realignment of the spine. GYROTONIC® also is used by athletes
for sportsspecific training purposes, such as golf, tennis,
swimming, and dressage. The benefits of this training can be used
as a compliment to weight training and/or cardiovascular programs
for those seeking to increase their level of fitness.
