Program overview

This in-depth Gyrotonic teacher training teaches students the fundamental movement principles of the Gyrotonic Method and prepares them to teach a progressive sequence of Gyrotonic Level 1 exercises on the Gyrotonic Pulley Tower Combination Unit. Successful completion of this program is necessary in order to become a Gyrotonic Trainer and to be eligible to enrol in specialised Gyrotonic courses such as the Gyrotoner and Jumping Stretching Board programs.

The program is composed of four sequential sections:

Gyrotonic Level 1 Pre-training
This course is designed to give you an understanding of the Level 1 exercises and prepare you physically for the Gyrotonic Level 1 Foundation Course.

Gyrotonic Level 1 Foundation
This course expands on the lessons in the pre-training course and is also where students learn the teaching skills and techniques specific to the Gyrotonic Method.

Gyrotonic Level 1 Apprenticeship
This apprenticeship period can last up to one year and students receive a trademark license allowing them to teach Gyrotonic Level I exercises in the role of Gyrotonic Apprentice.

Gyrotonic Level 1 Final Certificate
The program ends with the opportunity for students to demonstrate their teaching skills and their understanding of the Gyrotonic Level 1 curriculum.

Those who successfully complete this course, by demonstrating a competent understanding of the Gyrotonic level 1 course curriculum, are issued a certification and a trademark use license allowing them to teach the Gyrotonic level 1 exercises in the role of Gyrotonic Trainer.

The Gyrotonic Level 1 Trainer certification is a prerequisite for enrolment in Gyrotonic specialised courses such as Gyrotoner and Jumping Stretching Board training.

This Gyrotonic teacher training program typically takes 1-2 years to fully complete and become a Certified Gyrotonic Trainer. However students are able to begin teaching the Gyrotonic method in the role of Apprentice within 3-6 months after beginning the program.
