Gyrotonic: the art of movement

This incredible discipline was born in the United States in the 1980s ", by the Hungarian dancer Juliu Horvath. After a few years, Juliu tore his Achilles' tendon and this injury suddenly ended his career as a dancer. After the injury, Juliu begins the individual practice of Yoga;

he thus deepens the study and intensive practice of Yoga by developing a system called "Yoga for Dancers", with which he creates and deepens the advanced level that will take the name of Gyrokinesis®. Later his creative energies allowed him to develop the Gyrotonic Expansion System ® as we know it today.
Gyrotonic ® is a new training method, which stimulates the joints and exercises the muscles. It allows the body to stretch and strengthen at the same time.

Gyrotonic ® is based on key principles of dance, yoga, martial arts, swimming, and does so through spherical movements, with constant resistance and without interruption.

Each exercise is accompanied by breathing, which used properly regenerates the correct functioning of the diaphragm, leaving a pleasant sensation of fluidity and mobility.

Any sporting activity needs strength, flexibility and coordination. Gyrotonic® provides the super athletes of today and tomorrow not only with all of this, but also with a higher degree of resistance, versatility and grace in all movements.
