| The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is an exercise system that offers similar benefits as yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming, and tai chi although it is not directly derived from these methods. The system was developed through movement studies done by inventor Juliu Horvath in an attempt to heal his own injuries and in exploring how to obtain vitality and optimum health. Anyone seeking a sense of freedom and gracefulness in movement can benefit from this system. The free flowing movements are done in circular patterns and result in increased mobility, better posture, and improved agility. The organic circular patterns create a bridge between contraction and extension through the rotating movements of the joints. This makes for movements that feel suspended and turbulence-free to create space and openness in the body and safely lubricate the joints. The Gyrotonic Expansion System also mobilizes the spine, thereby reducing stiffness and tension while developing a coordinated sense of strength. Many of the movements in this system involve the whole body in fully coordinated movement. This helps improve body awareness and coordination, while enhancing both flexibility and developing strength. |
