About Gyrotonic expansion system
GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM

The GYROTONIC EXPANION SYSTEM, is a holistic training method and is directed to individuals regardless of age and physical ability. The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM is a revolutionary method. It's uniqueness resides in the fact that it stretches and strengthens the muscles, while simultaneously stimulating and strengthening connective tissues in and around the joints. The method's movements-exercises are three-dimensional and are based upon the principles of yoga, dance, tai-chi, and swimming. The exercises are syncronized with corresponding breathing patterns, that enhance aerobic and cardiovascular stimulation and promote neuro-muscular rejuvenation. The body “opens”, pain reduces and body awareness progressively increases.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM encourages one's body to move like nature intended.
The system was created in the early 1980's, by Juliu Horvath, and is in constant evolution. The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM is taught by certified trainers in over 70 countries.
Currently it is used worldwide by dancers, athletes, in rehabilitation facilities, as well as by people from all walks of life, age and health condition.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM has two exercise modalities, the GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS methods.
