What is GYROTONIC?

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® was invented by Juliu Horvath in the 1980’s. It incorporates influences from Yoga, Swimming, Dance, Tai Chi and Gymnastics.

Gyrotonic exercise is weight assisted and uses three-dimensional movements, and is unique in comparison to other conventional ways of exercising. The exercises incorporate breathing techniques, which are synchronized with the symmetrical sequences encouraging co ordination, balancing the muscles equally and increasing the range of movement. Focusing on creating strong core stability the movements mobilize the spine by performing smooth rhythmical, spiralling and rotational exercises.

The movements are low impact and therefore causing no undue stress on the body.

Gyrotonic exercises can help rebuild the kinetic chain where dysfunctional movement patterns may have developed through injury or even just the physical demands of every day living. Correcting muscular imbalance, strengthening the core, whilst increasing the body’s proprioception and flexibility.

The exercises can be gentle or vigorous, as each session is specifically designed on an individual basis. Absolutely anyone can experience Gyrotonic from the young to the elderly, there are no limits to who can gain from exercising with Gyrotonic.
