Gyrotonic®

The Gyrotonic Expansion Sysytem®  Method was created by Hungarian Juliu Horvath who is a professional dancer from Romania. Horvath suffered a series of debilitating injuries during his dance career and began developing what are now known as the Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis Methods as a way to heal himself and regain his strength and agility.

The fundamentals of Gyrotonic® consist of movements that exercise the musculature while mobilizing and articulating the joints. The unique system simultaneously stretches and strengthens the body with minimal effort while increasing range of motion and developing coordination. 

Gyrotonic® exercises are performed on custom-designed Gyrotonic® equipment and are composed of spiraling, circular movements, which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, agility, strength and flexibility.
