The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is an integrated wellness and exercise practice that addresses every system of the body. In this work we exercise the musculature of the body, while increasing capacity, stamina and range throughout in an organic and harmonious way. Through combined focus on movement and breath, not only does one’s range of motion increase through consistent practice of these methods, but also all systems of the body (cardiovascular, digestive, muscular, nervous, respiratory, … ) are brought into a state of eurhythmia.
Motions are fluid and continuous, like a dance, and are performed with spherical and four-dimensional awareness. This combination creates cardiovascular-aerobic stimulation and helps to improve joint mobility while strengthening, improving coordination, eliminating toxins, balancing energy, enhancing a suppleness of muscles and fascia, and also of sensory perception.
Developed by Juliu Horvath, The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® includes both the GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC® exercise modalities. Simply put, the Gyrotonic method uses specially designed weighted equipment to provide feedback and resistance for physical movement. The Gyrokinesis method allows the subtleties of this tensegrity to be discovered within one’s own body.
