Pilates and Gyrotonic: What are the differences?

Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise systems are both exercise systems that focus on whole-body fitness, but they have some key differences.

Pilates is a system of exercises that was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. It is based on six principles: concentration, control, center, flow, precision, and breath. Pilates exercises are designed to improve core strength, flexibility, and posture.

Gyrotonic exercise was developed in the 1970s by Juliu Horvath. It is based on the principle of spiral movements, which are designed to lengthen and strengthen muscles. Gyrotonic exercises also improve flexibility and coordination.

So, what’s the difference between Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise? Here are some key points:

Pilates exercises are mostly performed on a mat, while Gyrotonic exercises are performed on a special machine called a Gyrotoner.

Pilates exercises are focused on controlled, precise movements. Gyrotonic exercises involve more flowing, circular movements.

Pilates exercises are typically done in a group class setting, while Gyrotonic exercises can be done in a group or private setting.

Pilates is geared more towards improving core strength and posture, while Gyrotonic is geared more towards improving flexibility and coordination.

So, which exercise system is right for you? If you’re looking for a system that will improve your overall fitness, both Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise can be beneficial. If you have a specific fitness goal in mind, such as improving your core strength or flexibility, you may want to focus on one system or the other. Whichever system you choose, be sure to consult with great man like Robert Samiljan, a certified instructor to get the most out of your workout. #gyrotonic #pilates

Robert Samiljan Gyrotonic Workouts Explained

Gyrotonic comes from the combination of two Greek words: ‘gyro’ means moving around an axis and ‘tonic’ refers to the healthy ability of a muscle to contract and extend to the maximum.

When you experience Robert Samiljan Gyrotonic workouts you’ll feel the joy to explore how far we can go, how best we can be every time. By moving the body in a very simple way it mobilizes your limbs and it stretches your muscles while you’re strengthening at the same time.

We push on one side and then we pull to the other side. That means that a group of muscle initiates the movement whereas another group does the exact opposite. We supports the movement both when we pull and push, so we create a balancing functional movement. Whatever we do is always pushing out and away and pulling in and within.

Imagine to be like a jellyfish that contracts and expands to move around. This exactly how we treat the muscles. We activate everything in a rhythmic way and this is how the whole body is starting to work as one.

Professional dancer have the tendency of pushing themselves to the limit. Gyrotonic help them to find a balancing exercise so that they don’t push too hard to the point of getting themselves injured due to overwork and at the same time it reconnect them with the fun part of exercising, because exercising must be also fun, enjoyable, playful.

With Robert Samiljan Gyrotonic workouts all the movements are natural movements of the spine and the body. I mean we have the ability do a flexion-extension rotation lateral flexion this is what our spine does and of course our shoulders and hips ache they can do also three-dimensional circular movements so everything we do is based on these. When everything is normal and functional it restores whatever restriction we may have and bring us back to a balanced, healthier body-mind connection.

Testimonials

“Attentive & Compassionate”

“I am happy to recommend Bob as a Gyrotonics teacher. His lovely outdoor studio overlooks trees and a garden, amidst the music of bird calls. Bob is attentive and compassionate.

I always feel that his entire focus is on me, ensuring that I am getting maximum benefit.

Gyrotonics work, as taught by Bob, is amazing, emphasizing flow, energy, and movement. No matter what your level of physical fitness is, Bob will help make Gyrotonics work for you to improve core strength, alignment, and flexibility.”

“Doing Gyrotonics with Bob has been a lifesaver.”

“I’ve been working with Bob for a number of years as I’ve gone through some health crises. I’m a former athlete and dancer who has gone through a number of accidents and bouts with disease, although I’ve always been committed to being as physically active and strong as possible. Doing gyrotonics with Bob has been a lifesaver. I’ve maintained and gone way beyond my expectations for range of motion and strength. Bob is gentle, but highly supportive of my pushing myself (without hurting myself) to reach my maximum physical potential. I had been a professor at the top medical school in San Francisco many years ago and could not imagine having a better person to work with than Bob anywhere in the world. To work with him in Maui exceeds all expectations.”

– GEORGE FEIN, Ph.D. President and Senior Scientist Neurobehavioral Research, Inc.

“A True Teacher”

“When my husband and I decided to schedule a few Gyrotonic classes while on vacation in Maui, we thought we knew what we were signing up for: As seasoned Gyrotonic students, we figured it would keep us fit between tiki bars. We were delighted to find so much more — In Bob we found a true teacher — an inspiration to explore our bodies and ourselves more deeply. Bob is an embodiment of authentic movement, with deep knowledge of the Gyrotonic system, who guides students to understand the dance of moving in, and through, this world with energy, joy, and ease.

We continued to return to Maui to train with Bob, ultimately even doing our 10-day instructor pre-training with him.”

– ALANA AND ERIC

“Talented & Conscientious”

“Twenty years ago I met Bob and began my Gyrotonic training with him, and we are still great friends. Through his kindness and encouragement, I became certified and eventually opened my own studio.

Bob is a true professional — a talented and conscientious teacher. He is demanding, yet kind, and designs his teaching to fit each individual’s needs.

Because of Bob, Gyrotonic has become my lifelong passion and journey.”

– OBLIO WISH, Owner, Gyrotonic Sat Nam

“Unwinding Unconscious Patterns”

“Bob has a way of seeing and unwinding unconscious patterns that stress the system, and then re-working them so you move effortlessly.

Working with Bob, I experience profound improvement in my physical, mental and emotional health. Not only do I feel better in my body — stronger, fewer aches and pains, standing taller, etc — but I witness an impact in my day-to-day experience.

Bob is committed to my growth and development. He is a true healer and is 100% focused and present every time we work together. He is refreshingly trustworthy and respectful.”
