GYROTONIC^® exercises simultaneously stretch and strengthen the body with minimal effort while increasing range of motion and developing coordination. This unique system is based on low impact, fluid, and rhythmical circular movements synchronized with corresponding breathing patterns. The movements emphasize multiple joint articulations without compression and open energy flows in the body. Special attention is paid to increasing the functional capacity of the spine resulting in a body that is significantly less prone to injury. For more information on GYROTONIC® training visit www.gyrotonic.com.

At Instar Studio, each client receives an individualized program designed for his or her specific needs. Programs are continuously updated as progress is made. Descriptions of benefits of the Gyrotonic Expansion System for special populations follow.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System is an ideal way for athletes to train offering a wide range of physical possibilities that facilitate strength, flexibility, rhythm, and coordination. The equipment allows for simulation of many of the movements used in various sports. Swimming, tennis, golf, running, skiing, dancing, gymnastics, riding, and martial arts skills can all be greatly improved.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System was originally designed for dancers and has been used by professionals worldwide for over 20 years. The exercises help prevent injuries by increasing spinal flexibility, articulating every joint, correcting alignment and developing strength and coordination.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System uses low resistance, non-weight bearing movement for rehabilitation. The circular three-dimensional quality of Gyrotonic exercises increase circulation and energy flow without causing unnecessary pain or jarring. The system is used to recover from injury or surgery and helps alleviate chronic and acute pain.

During pregnancy, Gyrotonic exercises maintain strength and flexibility, increase blood circulation to the womb, build stamina for the birthing process, and are gentle enough to continue throughout the nine months. After birth, it is helpful in recovering abdominal and pelvic floor strength and relieving upper body tension due to carrying your baby.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System is a safe, gentle and effective way to exercise in the later years of life. It is helpful in relieving muscle and joint stiffness, increases energy, and improves the ability to move with greater ease and joy.

Gyrotonic exercises are a pleasurable way to increase strength, flexibility and coordination. All the exercises improve functional movement used in daily living and develop a well proportioned sculptured body.
