Here are a some personal reflections about the GYROTONIC® Method, from Olga, Pedro two of our instructors at Movement Beyond, with questions by Joana.

1-How did you first find the GYROTONIC® Method, and what made you stay ?

2- How different from other methods do you feel it is, and why did you choose to become an instructor of this method?

3-How do you feel when teaching the GYROTONIC® Method, and how do you see people benefiting from it?

1) *First came the recommendation.

*By trying it, I was amazed how my body felt during and after my first lesson.

*Visually I fell in love later!

2) Coordination between the movement and the breath, as well as strength and freedom of the movement. It is very holistic! Not easy, though.

Find harmony through GYROTONIC® exercise.

3) *I feel thrilled - moved!

1 - My passion for the GYROTONIC® Method started 21 years ago on a trip to Berlin where a friend introduced me to the method. I was sure that it was what I wanted for my body and to teach. I was already a dance teacher and I realized quickly that the method could enhance the quality of my movements in addition to bringing more physical health and well being….

2 - The fact that we work three-dimensionally (unlike other methods) and that we can work the joints of our body in all the possibilities they give us, makes GYROTONIC® exercise unique and special. I feel like I dance when I'm practicing...

3 - I find it very gratifying to see the result in the students bodies, all without exception commenting on the difference between before and after, and how their bodies react well to the method, bringing more expansion in their movements, less pain and better quality of life...
