Private lessons provide the quickest results in learning a new system of movement, and are geared to your pace, your goals or limitations, and your schedule. If your goal is to join one of our awesome Gyrotonic Trio Lessons, we require all students to begin their Gyrotonic Journey with a series of four private lessons.

Beginning Gyrotonic & Intro Gyrotonic Workshop
Beginning Gyrotonic (and our Intro to Gyrotonic Workshop) is a slower moving class, and offers students the opportunity to learn at their own pace. This is also an opportunity for those new to The Gyrotonic Method to experience a class.
Level 1
Level 1 is where you'll learn the foundational movements and exercises of the method. You'll also learn about things such as how to set up your equipment, breath patterns, what are your Seed Center and Fifth Line, and much much more.
This is where all new students begin after completing a minimum of four private lessons.
Level 2
Level 2 (currently only offered by Laura) is where we begin our exploration of more advanced Gyrotonic exercises from the Level 2 repertoire AND we play on the full array of Gyrotonic Specialized Equipment.
(Joining a level 2 lesson is by instructor approval only. Speak directly with Laura if you're interested.)
Specialized Equipment Trio
Specialized Equipment Trio (added upon request - currently taught by Laura and Steve ). These Specialized Trio sessions focus solely on the full array of the Gyrotonic Specialized Equipment and are geared towards full body strength and stretch.
Gyrotonic Applications for Dancers Trio
Gyrotonic Applications for Dancers Trio (added upon request - currently taught by Laura and Steve).
These Dancer sessions have two "personalities":
1) one is geared towards the pre-professional or professional dancer looking to enhance their craft. We'll work with proper muscle recruitment to enhance turnout and turns, finding length, posture, pelvic placement, core strength and much more. Dance teacher giving you consistent corrections? Are your hips turning out evenly? Need to build core strength? Let's help make those changes. (Taught by Laura and Steve). Sessions utilize both the Pulley Tower/Handle Unit and the Specialized Equipment;
2) the second is towards healthy curious moves who want to learn to dance with the Gyrotonic Pulley Tower (soooooo much fun!). Laura teaches these "Gyrotonic for your Inner Dancer" classes to fun world music, all while learning, laughing, and finding ease and strength in the body. These classes are taught exclusively on the Pulley Tower/Handle combo units.
How can this format benefit you? Read below and let's dance!
GYROTONIC® APPLICATIONS FOR DANCERS
For the pre-professional and professional dancer.
Available as Private, Semi Private and Trio instruction. (Trios added upon request). Currently taught by either Laura or Steve. Sessions will utilize the Pulley Tower/Handle Unit and the Specialized Equipment.
DANCERS ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE USING THE GYROTONIC® METHOD AS A CORE PART OF THEIR TRAINING...HERE IS WHY:
1. THE PREMIER EXERCISE BUILT FOR DANCERS BY DANCERS
This system was designed by Julio Horvath, who was a professional dancer and suffered numerous injuries. He tried to overcome them but nothing worked. Eventually he decided to come up with his own solution to help him heal those injuries. This later became known as the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®
2. TO INCREASE RANGE OF MOTION
Dancers will learn to simultaneously stretch and strengthen each muscle group in a way that is identical to the range of motion needed in dance class, increasing flexibility in a usable way.
3. PREVENT INJURIES FROM OCCURRING
Dancers will learn to use the expansion system to allow muscles to help make room in the joints and strengthening the areas around those joints, preventing unnecessary compression during training and exercise - ultimately helping to prevent injuries and staying healthy longer!
4. TO ALIGN THE BODY
Holding proper alignment has to do with the balance of strength between muscle groups. Through this system the body will learn what it FEELS to be aligned and will follow that naturally to finally achieve its own unique alignment.
5. TO BALANCE THE BODY'S MOVEMENT
Balance is perfected with two things: Alignment and strength. Whether you’re a prima ballerina on pointe, or a contemporary dancer moving from one balance to another, you need to have jaw dropping balance. Dancers will not only have one on one time to learn more about what makes their body unique, but with the specialized GYROTONIC® equipment and eye of the trainer, it will highlight any inconsistencies in their body that are preventing the best balance possible. And who doesn’t want better balance?!
6. TO INCREASE STENGTH
Gone are the days of dancers looking “frail”. Dancers are stronger and more diverse movers than ever before. The problem with tradition strength and cross training for dancers, is it’s done in a static or two dimensional plane. Dancers need strength in the every aspect of movement. GYROTONIC® exercise for Dancers is designed to strengthen the joints and muscles in their 3 dimensional realms, creating strength at every level of movement. It focuses on the importance of a “connected” body, meaning, your shoulder girdle and pelvis work together to achieve the perfect structural balance. Without both, it’s like trying to build a skyscraper without laying the foundation. Eventually it’s going to crumble.
7. TO FIX BAD HABITS AND RELEARN GOOD ONES
Using the GYROTONIC® Methodology, one can easily learn how to use the best muscle groups.
8. TO CONTROL BREATHING
Not only does our breathing give our muscles oxygen to perform at the highest capability but our breath enhances movements. Every dancer has been in a class and told to “breath” or “use your breath” but do you really know how to? GYROTONIC® exercise uses different breaths to achieve the maximum strength, extension, and connection through the whole body. Instantly increasing your bodies capability.
