Not really. They both emphasize moving from the core, or as it is called in Gyrotonic, the seed center. However, Pilates is a linear 2-dimensional form, whereas Gyrotonic mirrors the way energy travels through the body - in all three dimensions. This allows all movements to have breadth, flow, and - most noticeably - circularity. Gyrotonic is an extremely well-integrated system and you can feel how everything works together in each set of exercises.
Well it is. While Gyrotonic training is certainly very therapeutic for "healthy" individuals, and it is also a well-respected alternative physical therapy covered by many health insurance policies. Check with your health care provider for details.
The entire body is a complicated holistic machine, and when pain or stiffness is felt in one area, the root cause may actually be very far away. Working in three dimensions with specific exercises under the supervision of a trained professional can bring unexpected benefits. People seem to feel taller, or more "open", or stronger, or more vital, or report that those nagging pains have gone away.
We all follow a certain choreography in our day-to-day routines, and the same impulses that lead many to yoga and to Pilates may lead them to the next level - the Gyrotonic methodology. Many professional dancers around the world do derive enormous benefit from the 3-dimensional body movement that is the Gyrotonic system, and they comment that the graceful curving motions actually look and feel like dance. But where actual dance or athletic training is punishing on the body, the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis systems refresh the same muscles, allowing energy to flow freely along the primary meridians. Everyone can benefit from bodySpan training; we address all levels of physical capacity.
