Gyrotonic® & Gyrokensis®

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a holistic approach to movement developed by Juliu Horvath that is designed to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities. ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°Õ°¿±·±õ°ä® students are both young and old who are healthy or recovering from illness or injury. It is also a very effective system for enhancing the training of dancers. Some of the benefits of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® and ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°­±õ±··¡³§±õ³§Â® exercises include increased strength and flexibility, renewed energy and vitality and a general sense of calm and well being.

  2. The ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°­±õ±··¡³§±õ³§Â® Level I Teacher Training Program is available for those interested in becoming a ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°­±õ±··¡³§±õ³§Â® Trainer

After successfully completing one of the level I teacher training programs, trainers continue to develop their teaching skills by taking specialized courses in the method(s) they are qualified to teach. The ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°Õ°¿±·±õ°ä® and ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°­±õ±··¡³§±õ³§Â® methods are complimentary and some people choose to pursue training in one of the methods, while some study both.
