Gyrotonic® Level I Trainer Specifications
Gyrotonic® Pre-Training Guidelines
- Participate in a 7 to 10 day intensive training in a group setting with a Master Trainer or Certified Trainer to learn in their own bodies the exercises presented in the Foundation Course. Pre-training must consist of a minimum of 24 hours. Four hours must include Gyrokinesis™ training.
OR:
- If the student has been a client at a Master Trainer or Certified Trainer's studio and have learned all the exercises taught in the Foundation Course, this may be considered pre-training. If the student does not know all the exercises taught in the Foundation Course, they would need to enroll in private sessions with a
qualified teacher to learn these exercises. The student must complete 4 hours of GyrokinesisTM training. If the student has not completed this training they will need to enroll with a qualified teacher.
Note: Master Trainer reserves the right to deny a student enrollment in the Teacher Training course if they feel the student is not ready or prepared.
Gyrotonic® Seven Progression Teacher Training Course
- The Seven Progression Foundation Training Course is used worldwide in therapeutic, dance, and sports related facilities.
- This course introduces teaching techniques and principals underlying the exercises taught on the Pulley-Tower Combination Unit.
- Students learn to introduce these principals through the "Seven Progression" approach. The intention of these progressions is to divide skills and elements of the Gyrotonic® work into smaller units so that mastery is possible and quantifiable.
- Students learn in supervised groups, taking the role of student and teacher alternately to facilitate the learning process. The methodology is also taught through verbal instruction and physical manipulation, reinforcing the correct execution of breathing patterns synchronized with the corresponding movement.
- Participants learn to conceive and prepare individual Gyrotonic® training programs.
- An introduction to GyrokinesisTM will be taught by the Master Trainer during the Course.
- A certificate of apprenticeship, signed only by Juliu Horvath, will be issued upon completion of the course, enabling the student to purchase equipment for professional use.
Gyrotonic® Apprenticeship Period
Making arrangements for apprenticeship is the responsibility of the student. They may fulfill this requirement by:
- Using their own Gyrotonic® equipment to teach professionally the Seven Progressions plus appearing at a certified teacher's premises designated by Juliu Horvath for 20 hours of observation and assisting.
OR:
- If the student does not have their own machine, they must observe and assist for a minimum of 40 hours at a Master trainer's facility.
Note: The apprentice period requires a minimum of three months. The student cannot enroll in the certification exam in less than three and no later than eighteen (18) months after the successful completion of the Seven-Progression Course. Failure to do so will nullify the apprentice certificate.
Gyrotonic® Certification Exam Options

At the end of the course, each student will receive a Level I Certificate if they are able to teach the prescribed exercises in the Seven Progressions. If they are unable to do so, a Certificate will not be issued.
