Specialties

We offer instruction in Pilates and the Gyrotnic® method. In a Gyrotonic® workout, you learn stretches and conditioning exercises that open up all the possibilities in the body: greater range of motion, freedom of movement, strength and energy. Assisted by machines like the Gyrotonic® Pulley Tower — or on simple stools and mats in a Gyrokinesis® class — you move in continuous, circular motions that generate energy, move the breath, and massage the body internally to increase its efficiency, strength and suppleness.
