As written on the GYROTONIC website:
The student learns in supervised groups, taking the role of student and teacher alternately to facilitate the learning process. The methodology is taught through verbal instruction and physical guidance of a moving person, reinforcing the correct execution of breathing patterns synchronized with the corresponding movements. The student will learn how to execute these breathing patterns and corresponding movements in her or his own body, and will also learn, as teacher, how to physically guide another student in the execution of the exercises. All exercises will be taught based on the Foundation Level 1 Syllabus and Manual.
Pre-requisite: The student must present to the Master Trainer the Pre-Training Qualification Agreement that has been signed by both the Pre-Trainer and the student in order to gain entry into the Course. The Master Trainer reserves the right to refuse a student entry into any Foundation Training Course if the Master Trainer assesses that the student is not ready or prepared for the Course.
