Welcome to Carmel GYROTONIC® at Mindful Movement
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a unique form of exercise taught on weight and pulley based equipment. Founded by Juliu Horvath, in the principles of yoga, dance, tai chi, and swimming, the fluid and circular exercises work the entire body through muscular, skeletal, and cardiovascular stimulation.
GYROKINESIS® exercises uphold the same principles as Gyrotonic exercises, but does so without the use of equipment. It is similar to a dance or yoga class, as it is taught in a group setting. The fluid and circular movements are performed on a stool, and then on the floor and standing. Like a dance class, rhythm and flow are constant throughout the class. Many of the positions in class are also found in yoga , however in Gyrokinesis movement, there is no position holding. The body moves fluidly through a series of shapes, so there is never any potential for energetic stagnation. Corresponding breathing patterns stimulate the nervous system, open energy pathways and oxygenate the blood.
