Gyrotonic Method and Pilates: Synergistic Movements

Ready to optimize your body to move more efficiently and feel stronger? Practicing the Gyrotonic method along with Pilates, in a well balanced program, improves your body’s strength, flexibility, and coordination.

While not a well-known technique, the Gyrotonic method is a very effective rehabilitation program to achieve optimal health. A Gyrontonic exercise practice is a gentle way to improve movement related to injuries, surgery, and during and after pregnancy.

Let’s explore this unique method and how it can optimize your health.

What is the Gyrotonic Method?

While Pilates focuses more on precision and control, Gyrotonic exercise focuses on fluid movements. Classes use special equipment to guide you through non-impact fluid and circular movements. This is different than the Gyrokinesis Method, which is the mat-based counterpart.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System is a unique method. Juliu Horvat developed the Gyrotonic Method to heal himself from injuries sustained during his dance career. Fundamental movement patterns (arch and curl) form the foundation for countless exercise variations.

Each movement flows together to gently move your body through a natural range of motion. These continuous movements help mobilize areas of injuries and stagnation.

The Gyrotonic Exercise Method Rehabilitates the Body

01

Flexibility and range of motion

Exercises work through the full range of motion in your joints. This can help to loosen tight muscles and improve limited joint mobility.

02

Strength and Balance

The Gyrotonic Expansion System offers adjustable resistance. You can simultaneously engage multiple muscle groups to improve strength at your pace.

03

Non-Invasive Movement

Gyrotonic exercises are gentle and adaptable enough to support rehabilitation with minimal strain. Athletes with injuries or those with limited movement can benefit.

04

Spine Mobility

Circular movements help flex the vertebrae to improve spinal mobility and posture. This gentle movement also helps decompress the vertebrae for added pain relief.

Gyrotonic Pilates Program

We change lives through Pilates by educating the body to move freely with strength, flexibility, and control; through Gyrotonics by expanding the body and mind system beyond self-imposed limitations; and through acupuncture by addressing the body as a whole from the inside out.

Pilates and Gyrotonic Method Workouts: A Stronger Movement System

  • Improved Movement and Flexibility – Pilates has controlled, linear movements, while Gyrotonic workouts have fluid, circular movements. Both help enhance range of motion.

  • Enhanced Strength and Balance – The Gyrotonic Method activates larger muscle groups and joints. This helps improve strength and coordination during Pilates.

  • Improved Spinal Health – Pilates strengthens core muscles that support your spine, while Gyrotonic movements decompress the vertebrae.
