GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® Level 1 Certificate
The studies for Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis are separate, but go through a similar process. To obtain a Gyrotonic or Gyrokinesis Level 1 certificate there are 4 steps to go through, as established by the international headquarters of Gyrotonic® sales corp.
Pre-Training: Personal Experience
A 6 day course focused on giving the student a deeper understanding of the system through intensive personal practice experience and taking first steps into the philosophy behind the movement. One of the basic principles of the system is that we grow and develop by gaining personal experiences that are essential for our ability to teach others. Therefor, the first step in becoming a teacher is going through this experiential phase.
Foundation: Practical and Theoretical Knowledge
A 12/9 (Gyrotonic/Gyrokinesis) day course in which the core of knowledge and teaching tools are learned. This is the main course in the training after which you will be awarded an apprentice certificate, allowing you to teach and gain the amount of teaching hours necessary for attending the next phase of the teacher training process.
Apprenticeship Supervised Hours: Depth and Creativity
A 6/3 day course that offers a review of the foundation material and a deeper look into it based on the teaching experience of the apprentices. In addition, more advanced repertoire is given and more teaching hours are required before attending the next and final course.

The System
The GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® System
Our body is meant for movement – from the hidden micro movements of fluids and neurons to the visible large movements of the skeletal structure. Where there is no movement, there is stagnation and pain. This is why the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercise system is all about constant movement: Movement of the skeleton in all dimensions, constant flow of breath and expansion of our body-mind consciousness.
What is Gyrotonic?
Two disciplines. One philosophy: Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis. Spiraling, undulation and yawning of the body are in this method’s core philosophy. The understanding of the importance of spinal movement in all dimensions is in the base of their technique. One disciplines uses the help of an apparatus (Gyrotonic), and the other is performed seated on a chair, on the floor or standing (Gyrokinesis).
If you are getting acquainted with the Gyrotonic system for the first time – Welcome!
We will guide you step by step and explain why and how this system has already captured so many hearts all over the world…
Where do we start?
With the notion that body and mind are connected. The Gyrotonic system brings together the most advanced bio-mechanical knowledge of musculoskeletal movement with the ancient knowledge about the enhancement of consciousness through movement. This merging of worlds is uniquely applied as one exercise method that is designed to strengthen the body, regenerate the organism as a whole and maximize its potential.
Gyrotonic & Gyrokinesis is Movement
The Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods are about circular, three dimensional flowing movement – the natural spiraling movement of the body. Its principles incorporate understandings from different modalities – Yoga, Dance, Chi Gong, swimming and osteopathy. The practice of the method is a unique flow of movement, breathing and rhythm that make a deep and effective workout that also… feels so good!
Our Language…
We say "Gyrotonic" but refer to both methods in the system: Gyrotonic – a workout with the help of specialized apparatus and Gyrokinesis – a chair, floor and standing based workout.
History…
The Gyrotonic method was developed during the last 40 years by Julio Horvath – a former dancer who suffered from multiple injuries. His pain and suffering triggered him to search for a different kind of rehabilitation, which after much investigation and exploration led him to the basic principles of "Yoga for dancers" – known today as Gyrokinesis. Later on he started developing the apparatus which nowadays consists of 5 different, beautiful, wooden based machines.
