What is Gyrotonic® Exercise?
Gyrotonic® exercise is an exercise modality that guides users to simultaneously stretch and strengthen muscles and tendons while also articulating and mobilizing the joints. Corresponding breathing patterns are engaged during the performance of the exercises, thereby increasing coordination, endurance and aerobic activity.
Juliu Horvath discovered the Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® principles that form the foundation for this novel approach to maintaining health and well-being after many years of study, as he not only tried and succeeded in repairing the bodily injuries that he sustained as a professional dancer using these new methodologies, but he also sought to create a system of exercises that anyone could perform, regardless of age or state of health.
The result is a longer, leaner stress free body, increased energy and a more mobile and flexible back.
