The Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods are complementary exercise methods that fall under one umbrella- the Gyrotonic Expansion System. Developed by Juliu Horvath, an ethnic Hungarian professional dancer from Romania who suffered a series of debilitating injuries during his dance career. The Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Methods were developed as a way to heal himself and regain his strength and agility.
Both Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercise sequences are composed of spiraling, circular movements, which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions, with corresponding breath. Each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength, and flexibility.

The Gyrokinesis method is a movement method that gently works the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original, and unique movement practice that offers similar benefits also derived from Yoga, Tai Chi, gymnastics, and dance.
It is practiced in group or private classes under the instruction of a certified Gyrokinesis Trainer who guides you to practice better at home.
