Methods of Movement
The Classical Pilates Method
Pilates is an exercise method that dates back to 1925. The system is based on mind, body, spirit coordination and consistent, comprehensive practice and is true to the original exercises and apparatus created by Jospeh Pilates himself.
The Gyrotonic® Method
The Gyrotonic method uses motion that is more circular and continuous. The system works beautifully to address spinal and joint movement in a healthy, safe and energetically healing way by mimicking the feeling of moving through water. The result is smooth, endless, delicious movement.
The Gyrokinesis® Method
The Gyrokinesis method is the mat version of the Gyrotonic method, and is the original form of movement created by Juliu Horvath. He initially called it Yoga for Dancers, and it is executed on a stool and floor mat.
