DANA RADER
Dana Rader, the pioneer of Juliu Horvath’s method in Australia and the owner/operator of Energy Kinetics, is an International Master Trainer in GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, GYROTONER™ and LEG EXTENSION and has the only fully-equipped training studio in Australia/New Zealand.

WHAT IS GYROTONIC®?

GYROTONIC® training was designed by ex-Hungarian dancer Juliu Horvath and challenges your body to move in new ways. Rather than the linear movement of Pilates, the GYROTONIC® method creates circular motions which incorporate an entire body movement. The continuous circular and rhythmical movements gently undulate the spine, lengthen muscles and creates space in the joints improving spinal flexibility, circulation and joint constriction.

The GYROTONIC® method combines elements from dance, gym, yoga, swimming and tai chi so that it not only promotes flexibility and coordination but also works in an organic way to strengthen the mind and body from the inside out. When Juliu was creating the method he listened to what his body was feeling internally and built the movements around this. He believes if we listen to our bodies and ‘participate intelligently’ we all have an energy within us. He observed how our vital fluids begin to move in the morning and the natural rhythms and pulsation of our body.  Thus the continuous circular and rhythmical movements of the method reflect the cycle within our own bodies. The circular motions revitalise the body, release blockages and stimulate the nervous system. The training therefore not only make your body look better, it actually creates an overall feeling of well-being.

GYROTONIC® training is carefully choreographed and an experienced instructor supervises your work out. The training is conducted on specialised imported equipment and sessions are usually one-on-one or one-on-two with an instructor. As the Energy Kinetics studio is so well-equipped, we are also able to offer a special 10-week Introductory Group Class at a discounted rate (participation in the group class is dependent on individual assessment).

GYROTONIC® training is particularly helpful for professional dancers and athletes as the extensions are good for the spine and improve overall movement. Golfers in particular have found the training improves flexibility and therefore their swing while their overall game is enhanced through better tempo, rhythm and flow. GYROTONIC® training has multiple exercises for every part of the golf swing. Combined with the GYROTONER™ and the LEG EXTENSION equipment, clients can significantly enhance their total body performance.

WHAT IS GYROKINESIS®?
GYROKINESIS® is the essence of the GYROTONIC® Method and provides the foundation for the equipment work without the use of the pulley tower. You can take a traditional ninety minute GYROKINESIS® group class, systematically exercising all the body joints and muscles based on the seven natural elements of spinal movement.  It is a complete workout on floor and stools and begins with a self massage, then works through the seven natural elements of spinal movement, moves on to floor work connecting the upper and lower body, hip mobilisation, quad stretches and then through an abdominal and extension series on the stomach. The class comes to a conclusion with an unwinding series of exercises designed to reconnect back to your 'seed centre' and rebalance your energy. Energy Kinetics studio now also offers a faster 60 minute format with an invigorating aerobic conclusion. GYROKINESIS® classes are scheduled throughout the year.
