GYROTONIC
 GYROTONIC®
is a totally new equipment based exercise system
that has been developed to increase the
functional operation of the human body in all
forms. The uniqueness of the system is its
ability to simultaneously stretch and strengthen
the body using minimal effort while increasing
range of motion and developing coordination.
Movement
facilitated by the
GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®
opens, elongates and realigns through natural
circular movements providing a reversal of all
the compacting and compression that regular
daily activities like walking, running and
sitting inevitably do to our joints and spine
over time.
Unlike most conventional exercise machines
which move the body in a 2 dimensional and
linear manner the
GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®
gracefully guides the body in rhythmic 3
dimensional movements emphasizing multiple joint
articulations without compression.
GYROTONIC®
training offers principles of Yoga, gymnastics,
Tai Chi, swimming and ballet to move major
muscle groups in an integrated and fluid manner.
The system is supported by exercise equipment
specifically designed around the human body
which facilitates complete freedom of movement
without restriction to speed, strength or
versatility while enhancing coordination and
flexibility.
- Promotes overall strength and
flexibility
- Reverse years of poor posture and
compression

GYROKINESIS
After experiencing
many personal struggles and chronic illnesses, Juliu Horvath spent many
years studying and learning from the various meditation and yoga systems
in existence. These experiences not only led him to true healing, but he
was also inspired to create a movement system that synthesizes
and embraces key movement principles also found in yoga, dance,
gymnastics, swimming and tai chi. Some of the hallmarks of
GYROKINESIS® exercises
are the fluidity of the movements and the ease with which one can
perform them.
GYROKINESIS® exercises
allow one to work on the entire body through seven natural elements of
spinal movement: forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist,
right twist and circular, as well as all other joint articulation.
This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles
through rhythmic and undulating movement. These movements stimulate the
body's internal organs while different corresponding breathing patterns
are integrated along with the movements.
Fluidity is the key. Postures are not held for long periods of time.
Instead, postures are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the
use of breath, making exercises appear and feel more like a dance and
swimming than like traditional yoga.
A typical
GYROKINESIS®
class begins with
participants practicing self-massage and simple breathing patterns,
something Juliu Horvath has named, "Awakening of the Senses." Then the
spine and pelvis are engaged through simple exercises: while seated on
low stools, participants mobilize the spine through a series of arching,
curling, bending, twisting and spiralling movements. These same
movement patterns are expanded to release the hip, knee, hamstring,
quadriceps and so on, in all possible directions: front, back, twisting
and turning. The corresponding breathing patterns executed during every
movement stimulate the nervous system, open up the energy pathways and
oxygenate the blood. The more advanced classes offer endurance training
to participants prepared for more strenuous activities. All GYROKINESIS classes,
from beginner to advanced, encompass not only sitting but also laying
and standing positions.
Those who practice GYROKINESIS® exercises
tend to be more relaxed in their daily lives and can move with increased
flexibility and ease.
