GYROTONIC®

Exercises are performed through circularity of movement providing variable, but carefully controlled resistance. Each exercise is synchronized with a corresponding breathing pattern creating a gentle or vigorous cardiovascular stimulation, depending on the intensity and speed of execution. The GYROTONIC® technique works on many different levels and can encompass a simple remedial or an advanced challenging repertoire.

What is the difference between Pilates and the GYROTONIC® methodology?

Pilates focuses on a diagnostic approach to restructuring the musculoskeletal system and concentrates on correcting postural and muscular imbalances specific to the needs of individual clients. GYROTONIC® exercises are designed to work the body and its systems as a whole. Using the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, rotational multi-directional movements are performed to increase flexibility and strength, culminating in an organic rejuvenation and increased vitality and vigour.

Both methods are used at Anna Tetlow Pilates to provide a complementary and integrated approach, the balance varies according the individual need of the client.
