Discover The Beauty of Circular Movement with Gyrotonic® in Singapore
The Gyrotonic® exercise system is a revolutionary approach to movement designed to strengthen, stretch, and rejuvenate your body from the inside out. Created by Juliu Horvath, a former professional dancer, the Gyrotonic® method integrates elements from yoga, ballet, swimming, and tai chi, offering a holistic way to increase strength, flexibility, and mobility.
What is Gyrotonic®?
The Gyrotonic® exercise system is unlike any other. Using specialised equipment designed to guide and support your movements, the method emphasises spiraling, flowing movements that allow for maximum expansion, range of motion, and control. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance your performance, a fitness enthusiast seeking something new, or someone looking to rehabilitate from injury, Gyrotonic® can help you achieve your goals.
Benefits of Gyrotonic® Training
Gyrotonic exercise is a movement system that integrates principles of yoga, dance, tai chi, and swimming. It uses specially designed equipment to facilitate fluid, three-dimensional movement patterns. Gyrotonic not only enhances your physical fitness, it can also improve the health and functionality of the nervous system, in several ways.
1. Improve Muscle Strength & Flexbility
Develop functional strength and flexibility simultaneously through a wide range of fluid movements.
2. Enhance Joint Mobility
Restore natural movement patterns, improve joint mobility, and reduce stiffness.
3. Better Core Stability
Engage deep muscles to build core strength and improve overall posture and balance.
4. Rehabilitation & Injury Prevention
Ideal for injury recovery, Gyrotonic® exercises are gentle yet effective, helping you move without pain while preventing future injuries.
5. Regulates the Autonomic Nervous System
The flowing, rhythmic nature of Gyrotonic exercises can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This reduces stress, promotes relaxation, and improves overall nervous system balance.
6. Improve Neurofitness
Enhance neuromuscular coordination, proprioception, and neuroplasticity through fluid, multidimensional movements that integrate the mind and body.
