Do I need prior experience in Pilates or yoga to do gyrotonic?
It is a common misperception that you need to have a strong Pilates practice, or simply a strong connection to your core, in order to do gyrotonic. While some people who are more loosely strung together can benefit from learning Pilates first, this is not always the case and is not a blanket recommendation. Some people do better with gyrotonic first, because they are more comfortable working in the large range of motion provided by the exercises and the pulley system. Likewise, although prior yoga experience can be helpful when learning gyrotonic, it is not necessary.
