FAQ

GYROTONIC® is a holistic movement system developed by Juliu Horvath. You train on a special apparatus with circular, spiralling and flowing movements that are connected to the breath. Instead of strengthening individual muscles in isolation, the whole body moves – the spine becomes more mobile and the deep muscles stronger.

For anyone who wants to become more mobile, stronger and more upright – regardless of age and fitness. Many people come to us looking for a balance to sitting all day, to strengthen their back or to complement their sports training. The exercises are adapted to your level.

Not for GYROKINESIS®, Pilates mat, Pilates equipment or yoga – you can start straight away. For GYROTONIC® on the apparatus, you begin with a beginner session in which you learn the basic movements. You will find it in our schedule. After that, you can join the small groups.

Pilates focuses strongly on stability and controlled, often linear movements. GYROTONIC® uses round, three-dimensional movements that feel like a flow. The two methods complement each other very well – at Living Pink you can train both.

GYROKINESIS® is the sister method of GYROTONIC®: the same flowing movement principles, but without equipment – on a stool and on the mat. An ideal introduction to the method or a soothing balance to everyday life.

Alongside the mat work, Joseph Pilates developed his own equipment. At our studio you train on the complete BASI Systems® equipment: Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel and Spine Corrector. The springs support you or provide targeted resistance – so every exercise can be tailored precisely to your body. Pilates on equipment is offered as a duet or as personal training.

Many people find the training beneficial for the back, as the spine is gently mobilised in all directions and the deep muscles are strengthened. If you have acute pain or are recovering from an injury, please check with your doctor first whether the training is right for you – it does not replace therapy.

Small and personal: GYROTONIC® groups have a maximum of 4 people; GYROKINESIS®, Pilates mat and yoga a maximum of 5. Pilates on equipment is offered as a duet or as personal training.
