GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM
The GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS methods are complementary exercise methods that fall under one umbrella—the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM Method
GYROTONIC
METHOD
The Gyrotonic Method creates balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility for one’s body utilizing specialized equipment to guide, assist and challenge the exerciser.
Gyrokinesis
Method
The Gyrokinesis Method coordinates movement and breath creating heightened mental focus—practiced on a mat and chair without equipment.
A global community of over 15,000 Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Trainers teach classes in 80+ countries.
Meet Juliu Horvath
Both methods were developed by Juliu Horvath, 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 ultimate aim is to be at home in one’s body, to be at one with the nature of oneself and to experience exercise as a creative and delightful experience.”
— JULIU HORVATH
