GYROTONIC ®The Gyrotonic Expansion
System® is a revolutionary system of exercise
that incorporates key movement principles from yoga,
dance, gymnastics, swimming, and tai-chi. Developed
by Juliu Horvath, a former dancer and gymnast, Gyrotonic
movement stretches and strengthens muscles while
simultaneously stimulating and strengthening the
connective tissues in and around the joints. The
even and constant resistance in the equipment eliminates
the jarring found in conventional exercise machines
where most injuries tend to occur. The exercises,
synchronized with corresponding breathing patterns,
provide stimulation to the cardiovascular and nervous
systems which can range from gentle to quite challenging
depending on the pace and intensity of the workout.
Unique to the Gyrotonic Expansion System is the
three-dimensionality of the movements. Circular
rather than linear in nature, Gyrotonic exercise
incorporates spiraling and undulating motions on
multiple movement planes, which increase the functional
capacity of the spine and keep the body’s
energy continuously flowing. Fully adjustable to
the needs of every body type and strength level,
Gyrotonic movement is used worldwide in therapeutic,
dance, sport-specific and general conditioning facilities
by people of all ages. It is a system that bridges
the gap between Eastern and Western disciplines
resulting in total equilibrium and complete freedom
of movement.
