GYROTONIC® Exploration into the Extremes

to Jan 14

GYROTONIC® Exploration into the Extremes

TAUGHT BY MASTER TRAINER, ABEL HORVATH

"The course material represents my approach towards a most effective use of the Gyrotonic method. Roughly that incorporates:

  • a different progression of exercises compared to level 1

  • additional / new exercises 

  • new details to some known exercises

  • overall reinforcement of the Gyrotonic principles in a most effective and accessible way

  • overall build up and timing of a workout, transitioning from relaxation / release to mobilization / restructuring to the more fitness oriented exercises

The material can be selected accordingly to be suitable for the first class with a beginner, as well as to create a fulfilling workout for a well trained person."

In this course, students will be guided through a series of exercises on the Gyrotonic Pulley Tower, exploring additional ways of accessing the depths of their structure. Exercise sequences will gradually progress from warm-up and preparation exercises to mobilizing, restructuring, and strengthening exercises. There will be time for learning the details while experimenting with exercise intensity. Each participant will be seen as an individual on his/her own unique journey, according to his/her abilities, and goals – “the Extremes” is a relative term.

The material presented in this course will further enhance one’s experience with the Gyrotonic Method, benefitting Trainers, as well as their clients. A workout following these sequences will leave students feeling balanced, strong, and grounded.

Register online and pay a $250 studio fee to reserve your place. Tuition is due on the first day of the course and payable by CASH ONLY to Abel Horvath.

Dynamic Trunk Stabilization with Rita Renha

TAUGHT BY Specialized MASTER TRAINER, Rita Renha

March 9th -12th


This course intends to bring a conscious experience of the core connections to the 3-dimensional body understanding how to artfully activate it to create efficient movement.


It will focus on the kinesthetic application of the Gyrotonic principles to specifically adapted movement sequences from the methodology, i.e. focus on “feeling” whilst also presenting functional anatomy and neuro-muscular principles such as synergy, intensity, and timing via article references, photos, and video clips. With practice during the 3 days, the “thinking” enhances yet takes a back seat to the “feeling.”


Only when you really feel the application of the Gyrotonic Principles in your system is it possible to convey the Method to our clients in the way it was intended.

There is a one-day, $150 drop-in, for the first day of her Dynamic Trunk Stabilization course open to anyone: clients, movement professionals, and teachers.

Register online and pay a $150 studio fee to reserve your place. Tuition is due the first day of the course payable by cash, check, or Venmo to Rita Renha.

Wingmaster Course

Wingmaster Course

TAUGHT BY MIKE LUQUE

The Wingmaster is an excellent tool for training clients at every level. For clients who are in a rehabilitative or corrective setting, the Wingmaster is an excellent tool for increasing strength through all the spinal ranges of motion. The ergonomic shape helps people with shoulder or chest limitations to add resistance without strain. But that doesn't mean the Wingmaster's usefulness is limited to corrective work.

The Wingmaster is a brilliant and very underutilized piece of GYROTONIC® equipment that often spends more time as a fascinating decoration on a studio's wall than on our client’s bodies... or in their hands

All the favorite and familiar Gyrotonic movements are utilized: arch, curl, side bends, and spirals. Standing, squatting, and lunging positions are added. New ways to attach the Wingmaster to the tower open up greater possibilities for movement.

This course fulfills the Gyrotonic Trainer CEC (update) requirement allowing one to renew a Gyrotonic license. If a student is both a Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Trainer, he/she is eligible to renew both trademark licenses after taking this course.

Instructor: Mike Luque

Taught by Master Trainer Dr. Justine Bernard, physical therapist

 In this three day update course, GYROTONIC® teachers learn the definition, incidence and physiology of bone loss and how to help clients prevent osteoporosis fractures and falls using the Gyrotonic method. Trainers will learn how to understand a bone density scan, how to recognize a client who may be at risk of developing osteoporosis and some basic information about nutrition and medications. The course will also cover modifications of GyrotonicLevel I exercises for clients with Osteoporosis as well as new exercises specifically for bone reformation and prevention of osteoporotic fractures. 

 On the last day of the course you will experience 3 classes of the material covered: one for a client with severe osteoporosis, one for a client with osteoporosis and one for a client with osteopenia. The material is excellent for any therapeutic population including someone with neurologic condition, poor balance, poor posture or difficulty walking.

Archway Level 1 Course

Taught by Master Trainer Emily Smith

The Archway is considered by many to be the most physically demanding piece of specialized equipment. The design of the Archway facilitates users to perform exercises in differing relationships to gravity and is a great tool to strengthen without compression. The previous archway course has been expanded and revised, and is now two separate programs. This is the first of the two programs and is a prerequisite for Archway Level 2.
