What is Gyrotonic®?

Gyrotonic® is sweeping the nation. Many New York Pilates studios have incorporated the Gyrotonic® system into their work.

Gyrotonic®, which was developed by Juliu Horvath, a former professional dancer, features rotational, spiraling, and circular motion, which enables the body to develop a fuller functioning of the neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems.

This rotational motion sets it apart from other disciplines. Gyrotonic® incorporates elements of yoga, dance, swimming, and martial arts. The exercises combine breath, movement, and resistance to create a constant, fluid workout. As we age our spinal fluid can become dry and static. The GYROTONIC® system focuses on stabilizing the core of the body while allowing the spine to perform wave-like motions. These motions keep the spine fluid and increase mobility.

BTS is the only facility in the Northeast Ohio region offering teacher training in Gyrotonic®. The BTS school teaches the machine and mat systems; pre-training and preparation for work with a master teacher. With advanced studies, an individual can attain certification to teach Gyrotonic® professionally.
