What is the difference between Pilates and GYROTONIC®?
• Pilates is more “control” focused; GYROTONIC® works on “releasing” within a controlled range • Pilates is more 2 dimensional; GYROTONIC® is more three dimensional. • Pilates requires more fine tuned control; GYROTONIC® requires more control through a larger range of motion. • Here are some real life examples: Pilates would strengthen the PURE rotation of the golf swing to protect the spinal column and lumbar spine and GYROTONIC® focuses on the larger range of motion necessary for a successful and powerful golf swing. • Dancers can benefit from both Pilates for alignment and GYROTONIC® for increasing range of motion. Modern dancers would especially benefit from GYROTONIC®.
