Certified GYROTONICŪ Instruction & Training
Freelance Dance Work - Choreography & Instruction
The GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods are complementary exercise methods that fall under one umbrella; the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. Both methods were developed by Juliu Horvath, an ethnic Hungarian, professional dancer from Romania. Horvath suffered a series of debilitating injuries during his dance career, and began developing what are now known as the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods as a way to heal himself and regain his strength and agility. GYROTONIC® exercises are performed on custom designed GYROTONIC® equipment, whereas GYROKINESIS® exercises are composed of spiraling, circular movements, which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions, with corresponding breath. Each movement 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. In thirty plus years since Horvath began developing the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® has grown to include a global community of over 7,800 GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Trainers teaching in 52 countries. The GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods are both highly adaptable, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical ability. GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® students live in many parts of the world, and come from all walks of life. Accomplished athletes and dancers, college students, baby boomers, senior citizens, and people with disabilities--many have become devoted practicioners of GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® exercise.
