About Gyrotonic® The GYROTONIC® EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a unique system of equipment and exercise that incorporates movement principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai-chi. Created by Juliu Horvath, this system stretches and strengthens muscles, while simultaneously stimulating and strengthening connective tissues in and around the joints of the body. The uniqueness of the System is that it simultaneously stretches and strengthens the body with minimal effort, while increasing range of motion and developing coordination. Exercises, synchronized with corresponding breathing patterns, enhance aerobic and cardiovascular stimulation and promote neuromuscular rejuvenation. The GYROTONIC® equipment offers complete freedom of movement. It is fully adjustable to meet the needs of every body type and level of strength. The even constant resistance in the handle unit and pulley tower (through the triple reduction in the pulleys) completely eliminates the jarring in the beginning and end of a movement found in conventional exercise equipment, where most injuries occur. Unique to the GYROTONIC® system is the circularity, spiraling and undulating movements increase the functional capacity of the spine and create a spherical and three-dimensional awareness, assisting in achieving total equilibrium. The GYROTONIC® EXPANSION SYSTEM® is used worldwide by people of all ages in therapeutic, dance, sports specific and general conditioning facilities. To be entitled to professional use of this technique you must be a certified GYROTONIC® trainer. GYROTONIC® TEACHER TRAINING SCHEDULE 2009
