“The GYROTONIC® Method and I...”

Written by - Pedro Pires

I got to know the GYROTONIC® Method 21 years ago in Germany.

I was on vacation at the house of a friend who is a GYROTONIC® instructor... so that I could work with something that could take advantage of my dancer's background and that would give me pleasure in working on my body, which already had problems that years of ballet left in it, convinced me that it was what I needed.  The GYROTONIC® method’s three-dimensional work moved my body in all its possibilities of movement.

For a former dancer it was/is the ideal exercise, in addition to helping a lot in the recovery of old injuries.  So it was and so it is!  It's been 21 years and here I am still exercising and working with the GYROTONIC® method, and I still remember Juliu's words talking about how to divide your weight and your commands with the machine, and let it work for you, difficult for those who like it of being in charge like me , but extremely pleasurable when you succeed, it's the good feeling that your body is being well taken care of.
