I believe…
I believe that at the core of The GYROTONIC® Method’s principles lies the ultimate inspiration of Vitality...the overall feeling of wellness- of feeling “alive”. It’s the ability to sense the blood running through your veins- to feel the awareness of bringing air into your lungs, and to treat your body with kindness. Having vitality embodies the desire to eat healthier, to add a little more exercise into your routine, and to be curious about the potential you have to feel GOOD.
To take it a step further, the athlete can get stronger or rehab an injury, the dancer can get more flexible and increase turn out, a pregnant person can create space in their constantly changing body, and the person that never exercised much in their life can begin to meet their potential.
Our spines are designed to move. Forward, backwards, sideways, and with rotation. Our spines want to be strong in all of those directions and with the GYROTONIC® Method those skills are learned. The “Wave” or undulating articulation of the spine is inherent in the system and is also a beautiful analogy to represent the ebbs and flows and the surges of labor. It is one of the most complete movements one can do to stimulate the spinal cord… and with the stimulation of the spinal cord, all the systems of the body are addressed inspiring that sense of vitality we desire.

The GYROTONIC® Method
Essentially strength training for the spine, GYROTONIC® training combines spinal movements with breath, stretching, and strengthening exercises. Total stimulation of the spinal cord inspires a sense of vitality we all crave.
“Ultimately, it’s about living with a sense of vitality and freedom. That means feeling strong and joyful in life while living in your body. This methodology teaches us how to do that and that’s what I want to share.” -Kaleena
