GYROTONIC®

The Gyrotonic Expansion System® is gaining huge popularity worldwide as a totally new concept in exercise. The system was created in the USA by Juliu Horvath who has combined years of experience as a dancer and gymnast with his in depth knowledge of yoga and Chinese medicine.
The Gyrotonic® system uses equipment designed around the human body utilizing weights, pulleys andwheels to create a wide range of spherical movement which articulates and mobilizes the joints while strengthening the body's core musculature. Particular attention is paid to increasing flexibility in the spine, releasing tension in the upper body and improving co-ordination through movement.
Exercises are combined with synchronized breathing patterns which enhance aerobic and cardiovascular stimulation and promote neuromuscular rejuvenation. Developing a better awareness of our breathing habits clears toxins and revitalizes all the major systems in the body.
