GYROTONIC®

FEES:   £75/60   MONDAY – SATURDAY

The Gyrotonic system was developed by Juliu Horvath, an ethnic Hungarian and professional dancer from Romania. Horvath suffered a series of debilitating injuries during his dance career and began developing what are now known as the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Methods as a way to heal himself and regain his strength and agility.

Gyrotonic exercises are performed on custom-designed equipment, whereas Gyrokinesis exercises are performed on a mat and chair. Both sequences are composed of spiraling, circular movements which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions with corresponding breathing patterns. Each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, agility, strength and flexibility.

At The College Practice we have a dedicated  Gyrotonic movement Rehabilitation Studio.
