History of Gyrotonic
After experiencing many personal struggles and chronic illnesses, Hungarian dancer, Juliu Horvath, spent many years studying and learning from the various 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.
Based on the Gyrokinesis® methodology, Jului began to design specialized apparatus designed to facilitate circular movement. This is the foundation of the GYROTONIC EXPANSON SYSTEM®.
GYROTONIC® exercises offer complete freedom of movement. Exercises are performed on the Professional Pulley Tower, and the system is fully adjustable and can meet the needs of many people with varying body types and levels of strength. The even and constant resistance in the handle unit and pulley tower, (through the triple reduction in the pulleys), completely eliminates the jarring that takes place at the beginning and end of exercises performed on conventional exercise equipment, when many injuries occur. The circular, spiraling and undulating movements that characterize the GYROTONIC EXPANSON SYSTEM® help to increase the functional capacity of the spine, contributing to a spherical and three-dimensional awareness, resulting in total equilibrium.

GYROTONIC® principles embrace key elements also found in yoga, dance, swimming and martial arts. Specialized equipment supports flowing movements that lengthen muscles, stimulate circulation, increase spine and joint mobility, and build core strength in a relaxing, rejuvenating workout.
