HOW IS THE GYROTONIC® METHOD DIFFERENT FROM PILATES AND YOGA?
Where Pilates focuses on linear movement and stability, Gyrotonic methodology focuses more on circular movements and mobility. Also, where yoga is based on static poses, Gyrotonic movement differs in that it is based on rhythmic movements with fluidity. In fact, all the movements are continuous into the following movement, thus allowing room to expand with each movement, all while strengthening and opening. Keeping a smooth rhythm also helps with relaxing the muscles and joints, guiding the body to attain more flexibility without strenuous stretching. As a result, Gyrotonic exercise can help progress the practice of yoga by allowing you to get into the more challenging poses.
