The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is an original, uniquely holistic approach to creating healthy, functional movement.
The Gyrotonic Expansion System utilizes a suite of highly specialized equipment to support, develop, strengthen and expand the body's natural movement patterns. Carefully crafted sequences create balance, strength and flexibility. The Gyrotonic Expansion System addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency. With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring your nervous system or constricting your spine. |

"The ultimate aim is to be at home in one’s body, and to experience exercise as a creative and delightful experience.”
- JULIU HORVATH
Creator of The Gyrotonic Expansion Method®
What is the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®?
The Gyrotonic Expansion System was created in the late 1970s by Juliu Horvath, a professional dancer. After suffering debilitating injuries while dancing for the Houston Ballet, Horvath began exploring how to regain his strength and mobility.
The method Horvath developed includes GYROKINESIS®, practiced with a mat and stool, and GYROTONIC®, which applies the same principles on a suite of highly specialized equipment. Both consist of sequences of expansive exercises where the student moves in sensuous, spiraling, circular patterns, flowing from one repetition to the next. Movements are coordinated with breath and take you elegantly through a natural range of motion, with no compression or high impact.

"I have neuromuscular deficits that have resulted in weakened posture, gait, and a muscle loss. After doing Gyrotonic® for three years, I have much more strength in my legs, core, back and shoulders. My body has regained function and alignment. The versatile teachers have an innate ability to accurately trouble-shoot weak areas and provide specific exercises to build my strength." — TONI, CENTERLINE GYROTONIC® STUDENT |

What is a GYROTONIC® workout like?Begin by moving the spine in all directions—arch, curl, twist right, twist left, and side bend each way.
Continue through families of organic exercises that simultaneously strengthen and open the feet, ankles, knees, hips, abdominals, shoulders, wrists, and hands—your entire system. |
The innovative suite of specialized GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® equipment is extremely adjustable, allowing it to be both supportive and appropriately challenging for each body. The intention is to promote ease of motion while working with resistance. Movements are satisfyingly dynamic, expansive, continuous, serpentine and three-dimensional.
You'll deeply nourish and stimulate your circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, and nervous systems. After regular workouts, you’ll experience freedom in your spine, lean and toned muscles, space in your joints, better overall health, and dynamic well-being.
