Creating space with inspiring classes at Gyrotonic Brisbane

Gyrotonic Brisbane

Gyrotonic exercises use spiralling, circular motions to mobilise your body

What is the Gyrotonic Expansion System®?

Classes in the Gyrotonic Expansion System® are now available in Brisbane. Gyrotonic is a method of exercise aimed at encouraging a range of movements. It has its roots in Yoga, Tai Chi, and dance, with the exercise sequences being composed of spiraling, circular movements. These movements flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions with corresponding breath. The system uses pulleys, weights and rotational discs to encourage circular movement of the joints. The exercises are natural rotational movements that use a balanced support system for the skeleton. Gyrotonic at our studios in Brisbane (West End, Annerley) is great for increasing the functional and rotational capacity of the spine and is particularly efficient with other rotational joints such as the shoulder, knee, and wrist.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System® philosophy

The philosophy of Gyrotonic with Body Organics in Brisbane is that the circular movements emphasize joint articulation without jarring or compression.  and therefore increasing stamina, flexibility and strength. Gyrotonic places emphasis on breath and flow throughout its whole-body workout so that you can achieve a cardiovascular workout whilst supporting your joints. The method systematically moves the body through a series of circular motions, opening areas that are bound and tight. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.

Who can do the Gyrotonic Expansion System®?

The Gyrotonic method is practiced by people from all walks of life, from teenagers to baby boomers and beyond. It can benefit people with disabilities, improve general health and wellbeing and enhance performance for sportspeople, athletes and dancers. Because Gyrotonic equipment is highly adjustable, it can be customised to fit each person’s unique physique and ability, adapting for things such as height, arm and leg length and physical ability. The goals of Gyrotonic training include:

//     Increased flexibility and range of motion //     Improved posture //     Reduction in back pain //     Weight loss //     Enhanced athletic performances //     Correcting muscular imbalance //     Injury recovery and prevention //     Osteoporosis prevention

Body Organics has Gyrotonic equipment in Brisbane at its West End and Annerley studios. Our West End studio also has the Jumping Stretching Board and the Gyrotoner, making it the most comprehensively equipped studio in Brisbane, let alone Queensland. Juliu Horvath developed the Gyrotonic method and its specialised range of equipment around the natural movement patterns of the human body. Watch the video to hear Juliu himself explain and demonstrate how the system works, or find out more at the official web site of the Gyrotonic Expansion System.
