By Amanda Collins


Gyrotonic exercise method is one of the two components besides Gyrokinesis exercise method that compose the Gyrotonic Expansion System. Gyrotonic method makes use of specialized equipment, which permits the trainer to move with resistance and support. The sequences entails in this method are meant to increase functional capability of an organism harmoniously. It embraces key principles that can also be found in yoga, gymnastics, tai chi, dance, and swimming.

In gyrotonic training, continuous, flowing motion are emphasized together with synchronized breathing patterns. One can attend sessions in private gyrotonic training in fitness facilities such as studios and gyms. These facilities also provide group sessions besides private ones. Group sessions are administered by one or multiple trainers to several trainees.

Juliu Horvath is the individual credited with the creation of the gyrotonic expansion system. Horvath was born in Romania and belongs to Hungarian ethnicity. His motivation to create the system was informed by the years he spent nursing chronic injuries and pain. He was a dancer and a gymnastic, becoming a ballet dancer in the 20s of his life. After defecting from Romania in 1970, the United States granted him asylum. He spent some months in an Italian refugee camp while on defection.

Horvath has his dance career ended when he herniated his vertebral disc. In a bid to rehabilitate the injury, he moved to Virgin Islands where he made a tiny hut within the mountains and devoted his life to extensive yoga life. The next 6 years of his life were spent in the mountains on meditation and yoga. As he did this, he started to develop the Yoga for Dancers.

Horvath started to teach his new method after returning to New York City from the Virgin Islands. He established a Gyrotonic studio in 1984, being the first person ever. His clientele was composed of professional dancers mostly. However, people soon realized the benefits of his classes and demand increased a lot. Horvath had to refine most routines in the training to accommodate people of different health status, body size, and age. Gyrokinesis Method was the name of the refined method.

People who practice this method benefit in many different ways. Some of the benefits accruing from the method include cardiovascular stimulation, increased mobility of joints, and enhanced circulation. Other benefits are enhanced sense perception, strengthening of nervous system, flow of energy, mobilization of spine, greater balance, stimulation, and enhanced coordination. People achieve this benefits to varying levels.

Gyrotonic training requires a special exercise equipment developed by Juliu Horvath. All of the pieces of equipment used for this exercise were developed by Juliu. The design of the equipment is such that it can accommodate all movement patterns made by the human body naturally. The device incorporates curvilinear wooden framework. It also has several adjustments that allow for customization to fit the unique physical ability and physique of the user.

Trainers use five major models of the device on a commercial scale. The Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the one in widest use compared to the other 4 versionas. The other four units are normally classified as specialized equipment. The four models are the Jumping Stretching Board, Leg Extension Unit, Gyrotoner, and Archway.
