Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is

    GYROTONIC®

    ?

GYROTONIC®

is a movement method that combines flowing circular exercises with coordinated breathing to improve strength, flexibility, balance, posture and mobility. Using specially designed equipment, movements work through the body’s natural range of motion while gently mobilising the joints and spince. Suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels,

GYROTONIC®

can support rehabilitation, enhance athletic performance and improve overall wellbeing.


  • What is the difference between

    GYROTONIC®

    and

    GYROKINESIS®

    ?

GYROTONIC®

is practised on specialised equipment that provides guidance and adjustale resistance, allowing exercises to be tailored to individual needs.

GYROKINESIS®

is performed on a stool and mat without equipment, making it ideal for group classes or practising at home. Both methods improve mobility, coordination, strength and body awareness.


  • Is

    GYROTONIC®

    good for back pain?
Many people find it beneficial for improving spinal mobility, posture and core support, which may help reduce discomfort associated with stiffness or poor movement habits. If you have chronic pain, an injury or a medical condition, sessions are adapted to your needs and should complement the advice of your healthcare professional.

    GYROTONIC®

    suitable for beginners?
Yes. It is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced movers, dancers and atheletes. Every session is adapted to your current abilities and physical conditions. No previous experience is required.

    GYROTONIC®

    and Pilates?
Both methods improve strength and body awareness, but

GYROTONIC®

focuses on three-dimensional, flowing and circular movements that encourage freedom through the joints and spince. Rather than isolating muscles,

GYROTONIC®

integrates the whole body with breath, creating a continuous movement experience that many people find both strengthening and restorative.

About me
I am a certified

GYROTONIC®

and

GYROKINESIS®

trainer with a background in art and classical ballet. I also practise Argentinian Tango.

My approach to movement is shaped by an interest in the connection of the body and mind, both as a physical and sensitive system-capable of memory, adaption and subtle change.

I also bring personal experience with chronic pain after an accident injuring my ankle, pelvis and neck, as well as somatic skin and health conditions. Through this, I’ve developed a deeper understanding of how closely physical and internal states are connected, and how important it is to work with the body rather than against it.

Working with this unique body movement method has played a significant role in in my own healing process, helping me recover, strengthen, and reconnect with a sense of ease and support in my body and mind.

This experience informs how I teach: with patience, attentiveness, and respect for each person’s individual rhythm and qualities.

My sessions focus on creating a nourishing and supportive environment where strength and softness can coexist.

Whether you’re experiencing stiffness, recovering from injury, looking to improve your posture or simply want to move with greater ease,

GYROTONIC®

offers a personalised approach to movement that meets you where you are.

Unlike many forms of exercise that isolate muscles,

GYROTONIC®

uses flowing, three-dimensional movements to mobilise the entire body. Exercises combine circular movement, breath and rhythm to improve spinal mobility, coordination, flexibility and strength without excessive impact on the joints. The method is suitable for beginners, older adults, dancers, athletes and people recovering from injury.


Benefits include:
  • Improve mobility
  • reduce stiffness
  • Better posture
  • Athletic performance
  • Rehabilitation support

Every session begins with an assessment of how you move, your goals and any injuries or areas of discomfort. Exercises are then adapted to your body rather than following a fixed routine.
