Gyrotonic Method is a unique exercise system that incorporates movement principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming, and tai chi. Developed by Juliu Horvath, a former ballet dancer, Gyrotonic exercises are performed on specially designed equipment that guides, supports, and challenges the body. The system emphasizes circular and spiraling movements that flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility. People from all walks of life take classes, including Gyrotonic fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, accomplished athletes, professional dancers, and people recovering from an injury or living with a disability. The goal of Gyrotonic method is to create a strong, flexible, and well-balanced body while promoting overall well-being and vitality.
