Gyrotonic® is a form of exercise that emphasizes circular and spiraling motions designed to lengthen the musculature, open up tight joints and promote energetic balance and flow.  The system incorp-orates principles found in yoga (stretching muscles and opening up tight joints), dance (fluid and con-nected movements that express power and grace, extension of limbs), and tai chi (flowing movement used to center the body and calm the mind).

It stimulates blood flow to the connective tissues, promoting their health, healing & longevity. The movements tend to be undulating, circular, or spiraling, and promote/focus the body-mind connection, producing a sense of being "at home" in one's body.
