WHAT IS GYROTONIC®?
Pioneering as a center for GYROTONIC® in Barcelona, Harmonious Life specializes in applying and teaching this method of training with machines capable of adapting to the needs of every person. GYROTONIC® works with strength and flexibility using circular movements, in spirals and undulation that, with the rhythm of breathing, release tension and strengthen the body to allow greater mobility and space in the joints.
Created by Romanian Juliu Horvath, GYROTONIC® integrates principles of swimming, dance, Tai-Chi, and yoga, and the exercises were designed according to the body’s natural patterns of movement so that they are easily adjustable and can adapt to the capacity and physical state of every person, regardless of their age or their physical condition, from athletes to ballerinas, even persons with disabilities.
BENEFITS OF GYROTONIC®
Through GYROTONIC® you will learn to move your body in the most optimal and connected way, achieving stronger, more dynamic, and more flexible musculature and joints. Through its capacity to balance the body for greater freedom and vitality, this system—called GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® – is used often not only for training but also to prevent injuries and in rehab.
The GYROTONIC® method helps improve the functional capacity of the spinal column which contributes to a three-dimensional spherical awareness that can considerably improve balance and mobility. Thus, frequent practice contributes to a healthier spine, the basis of health and quality of life.
HOW DOES GYROTONIC® WORK?
Done on machines, GYROTONIC® exercises allow muscles to stretch and strengthen, stimulating the tissues and strengthening and re-educating the joints, tendons, and ligaments. Each GYROTONIC® exercise is synchronized with the breath, which helps bolster coordination, physical integrity, cardiovascular stimulation, and neuromuscular rejuvenation.
GYROTONIC® stabilizes the body through contrast (agonist and antagonist musculature) mobilized by activating body fascia tissue. In this way, not only are the large muscle groups worked on, but the secondary muscles are also strengthened. Also, being connected with the breath, the tridimensional and circular movements of GYROTONIC® contribute to cardiovascular activity with total respect for the biodynamic aspects of each body. In fact, it can be said that GYROTONIC® favors bio-organic movement through the natural intelligence of the body.
GYROTONIC® EQUIPMENT
Just as is the case with other types of training with machines, in GYROTONIC® the latest technology is needed to do the exercises with precision. In our facilities at Carrer Viladomat we have the Pulley Tower with the the Jumping Stretching Board.
